Does anyone here adhere to a structure model for writing their novels?
I do for my scripts and use the same structure for the novel version.
What about you?

I follow kishōtenketsu across all my projects (character, development, big twist, resolution). I like how creator-friendly it is and lets me play outside the box as opposed to the traditional three-act structure/hero's journey template.

I am not the example of the day - a glass of wine helps! I'm with Banafsheh - character tries, fails, tries again, fails... find resolution. But it's word count that can do my head in. Average commercial fiction is 80k words - that is where I struggle sometimes!

Save The Cat is a great framework for building out a complete story!

Depends on the story. Each one has its own needs. Sometimes it's Save the Cat, sometimes it's Truby, sometimes 3 act structure, or even 5 act structure. Honestly, it depends on what I'm working on, the length, the depth I want to indulge in.
