Plot your way out of this one… — 9 Comments

  1. I can be that organized, I’m more the type “I can find anything in my mess as long as nobody messes with it!” So I will wish you good luck and I will be waiting impatiently until you wrestle all your dragons into order.

  2. Well I for one am rooting for you. I have book 1 but I like to have all books in a series before I read so I am waiting for this one then I can start!!!
    Same goes for Heir of Rosings Park. I have book 1 again but am waiting.
    I hope the dragons don’t succes in stressing you so much that you are unable to write further books ? Good luck in your endeavours.

  3. Well I can’t wait for the Heir of Rosings to be published, as for the dragons, I need to have all the books before I start reading so Book One is still waiting to be read

  4. I’m the same way. I start with a vague idea of what I’m doing, but any time I try to actually do a timeline or organised layout…

    Nope.

  5. The teacher in me so related to your organizational style. You can’t have a classroom without some form of organization. I loved that foam board covered in Post-it notes. It just sang to my soul. Wow! I understand completely about your character driven writing style. Hang in there. They will keep you out of trouble. Once you let go and let them drive… you will get to your destination safely. Blessings as you unravel and wind up your story threads. JWG

  6. The Blake Snyder storyboard transformed my plotting and my writing. What you’re doing looks great. I need things visual and kinesthetic–and fluid! So I can move ideas around or take them down and see how it works without them.

    Which reminds me… that is exactly what I need to do for the sequence I’m working on right now. A mini-board to track the sequence of events in this section of the book [I’m in rewrite and am jigsawing scenes in different order as I delete one subplot and write some extra stuff to smooth it over, arrrgh, a writer’s life for me!]

    Thanks for the inspiration today. It was just what I needed!

  7. I’m the same way with writing fiction. I’m an academic, and I’ve always written everything by ultra-detailed outline. But with fiction, I basically freewrite. And it’s worked for me really well until I got stuck on my latest book and just stopped dead in my tracks. I had written myself into a corner and there it sits, unfinished and “on hiatus” on Wattpad and FF.net.

    So I get it, and I looooooove your storyboard idea. That would probably work for me. 🙂

    So keep on going! I’m so excited about Netherfield as I just re-read both Pemberley and Longbourne over the past two weeks.

    Warmly,
    Susanne 🙂

  8. I love an organized person…being one myself! As for your plots, you do have your work cut out for you! Mary has shown she is not a ‘settling’ kind of girl! Good luck but we have faith in you!

    As for dragons, your ‘wing it’ style should having you flying right along!
