Plots the Triple-O Way

"Plots the Triple-O Way" by John Nanovic. This work was originally published in the 1945 Writer's Yearbook. Extensive research uncovered no copyright renewal. The original printing has the following tongue-in-cheek introduction. "John Nanovic got a divorce but his friends think it's just temporary. John left Street & Smith, where he edited fiction from the time he came to work in short pants, and went to work for an advertising agency. But the call to conflict is still deep within him and he writes fiction at home on week-ends. Nanovic is known as a wizard of plot at places like the Algonquin Hotel bar where publishers' checks are cashed in trade. When you've got Air Colonel Joe up in a geisha's room about to hand over plans for the invasion of the Emperor's harem, and you're stuck, that's the time to call good old John Nanovic. He'll know a way. In case you don't know his number, here's what he gives out in the way of triple O plotting. Plot rhymes with conflict, although the dictionary disagrees. While no method of plotting is sure-fire for everyone, this one will make friends with a lot of people."
