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.

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/

Work Ethic

What is your work ethic????  It might get that book written sooner. I admit that televison is my distraction from writing.  I can not write in the living room, where the telvision is staring at me.  I know it talks to me.  Maybe your distraction is something dirrerent.  The dishes calling you to wash them or those dust bunnies talkling to you.  Whatever it is we need to stop listening to them. I always plan on writing more than I do.  I came home from work yesterday, and had plans to write, then I ate and started flipping channels and then the time slipped by and I didn't write anything.  I think it all come down to one's work ethic.  Some have one and some don't. I think I am one of them that does not have a strong work ethic.  The fact that I want my book finished, is what motivates me.  I want to be a writer, so I write. http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/
