Lester Dent, who created Doc Savage and other pulp heroes and wrote adventure yar ns for The Shadow, had a formula for his short stories. He divided his 6,000-word yarns into four sections of 1,500 words each, each section with a purpose that concludes with a twist or a "punch," leading inevitably toward the climax. This produced tight, varied stories that Dent could churn out by the dozens.
