I’m actually thinking about plotting out The Bond That Saves Us.
Now anyone who knows me at all as a writer, knows I don’t plan a thing. Nothing. Have no clue what I’m doing until I actually start typing. So far it’s worked really well. Written twelve novels that way. So, why (I can hear you asking yourself this) does she want to plot now?
It comes down to energy levels. I’m tired from all the different commitments in my life. And I think if I plot out the book, it will make the flow go a lot easier. So, I’m going to try it. I’ll let you know how I make out.
Oh! And I bought an e-book reader. It’s beautiful…and I think I have to return it. All of my e-books are in PDF format. This reader doesn’t zoom in enough for me to actually read the text! I’m so upset because the reader is beautiful.
If anyone has any suggestions on a good reader, let me know!
If you don’t try new things, you’ll never learn and grow. It’s that simple.
As for the ereader, which did you buy? I met the Sony and the Kindle both at RT and came away a Sony fan, even beyond the fact that I hate Amazon.
I’m with Susan - which reader. Gizmo Guy is talking about buying me a Sony for my upcoming birthday. If it doesn’t work with PDF’s that’ll really suck! One of the reasons I like reading ebooks is because I can zoom the text - my trifocal’d eyes need larger print these days.
As for the plotting, well, sometimes it helps to know where your story is going especially if you get stuck you can choose a scene from the later part that does inspire you and work on it. But if you’re anything like me, be prepared to have to ditch it when your story takes a hike to the west before you actually get to use it. (I just lost 12K that way - and the story is better for it.)
Okay, I’m still gasping over that “other” revelation with respect to JB and GDL.
Anyways, you know I’ve been trying to get you to plot. I’ve been plotting, point form on a white board. Not anything major or anything too detailed but it’s working for me.
Come on, you know you want to Plot Sean’s story. I’ll help ya. I’ve done storyboarding and stuff like that.
You know where to find me *wink*
