Plot Points

Do you outline??? Are you a plotter or a panster?????

I am a plotter.  I plot out my book.  I know how it is going to start and how it is going to end.  I know what the last scene is going to be.  I have direction so I can't go in the wrong direction.

I write out my plot points.  Plot points are the ones that change the direction of the story.  If you have a 20 chapter novel. 

Chapter 5  Plot Point One

Chapter 10 Plot Point Two

Chapter 15 Plot Point Three

Chapter 18 or 10 Black Moment   (When the reader thinks there is no hope for the two of them to be together)

Chapter 20  Resolution   They resolve everything

I know all my plot points before I start writing.

Something to think about. 

My Plot Points:

Chapter 5 Larry shows up

Chapter 10  Samantha learns that Doug is working for Larry

Chapter 15 Samantha learns about the bet

Black Moment  Samantha realizes that no one has no faith in her and she is embaressed and agrees to go back to the city

Resolution:  Doug meets Samantha at the church and makes things right

I know what direction I am going in my story.

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning.

Don't Be Scammed

This is my number one pet peeve on being self published.  There are people, website, and courses out there, that want your money. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND! There are websites out there that will charge you for services that you can learn to do yourself.  If you don't want to learn these things that is fine, pay for it.  But if the reason that you are paying for services is because you don't t think you can, you are totally wrong. I have said this before and I am saying it again.  I knew nothing when I started in 2011,  I had a computer.  I had no idea how to send a file via e-mail. I had no idea what to do one I got the file back from the formatter.  How do I get it uploaded on Amazon.  I had no idea that I had more than one drive on the computer.  I downloaded a file and had no idea where it went. If you are thinking that you can not learn this.  I am proof you can learn if you set your mind to it and are willing to learn. Don't...
