Re-Plotting

In previous post I mentioned that I was following the structure of the book Save The Cat Writes A Novel by Jessica Brody well, I have read that book twice and plotted the novel, then I discovered she had a workshop on the book.  I purchased the on line workshop yesterday.  I am not changing the story, but I am changing things a bit and will have to rewrite from the beginning.

I am getting nothing from talking about this method of plotting.  I am just blogging on how I am going to write this 4 book series  and the ups and downs of writing. 

I have the book in my head.  I have the series in my head.  It is getting it on paper that I am having problems with.  I can write 10,000 words a day in longhand, but if it is just words, what is the point?  I want to write these books. I am quitting my job in May.  I have to do something or I will never publish this series.

So the workshop is based on the book Save The Cat Writes A Novel, even though I have read the book and take it to work with me, watching the videos and have her talking to me, made things clearer. 

I watched the videos yesterday for Act 1 and how to break into Act 2.  Today I am going to work on the plot points of what she talked about before I watch anymore videos.

So if you are writing a book and think you need to replot or rethink your book, then do it.  It will still be the same book, but better.

So happy plotting......The world is waiting to read your story.
