I probably get weird looks but I've never taken the time to notice! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-76612838336272107862011-11-17T09:24:01.426-08:002011-11-17T09:24:01.426-08:00Thanks! I think I am a plotter and I've tried ...Thanks! I think I am a plotter and I've tried to plot some BUT not fully because I just don't know? Sometimes I have too many ideas and get lost. So I thought id write some and see if anything developed. Not working out. <br />I've been trying to figure out like the three biggest points or whatever you call them and get stuck. Like nothing seems strong enough! <br />I'll have to think through more of your questions there and go back to my beginning notes. I really think I have a good set up for a story but I'm getting lost/overwhelmed in the process. I'm determined not to give up on this one, it's was I've always done when I get stuck. Not. This. Time. Or I'll never finish a MSTonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500897912581589616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-23108010084324136892011-11-16T21:07:18.933-08:002011-11-16T21:07:18.933-08:00Yay Tonya! Thanks for sharing :)
As for your ques...Yay Tonya! Thanks for sharing :)<br /><br />As for your question...that's why I plot in advance. So I never get to that point. It sounds like if winging it isn't working for you, go back to what you have and think about a synopsis. Don't worry about writing the next scene, concencrate on the entire story. What is your ultimate theme or message? What do you want the reader to take away? Figure out the deeper elements of the story, then brainstorm with a friend or family member or someone who can listen to you talk the plot out, and maybe help you figure out what needs to happen next scene wise or chapter wise to get you there.<br /><br />Writing seat of the pants isn't for everyone and if you're frustrated or uninspired by it, try plotting!Betsy St. Amanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01326874709264159191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-61204671986128945082011-11-16T16:10:13.901-08:002011-11-16T16:10:13.901-08:00This morning I was worrying about my upcoming test...This morning I was worrying about my upcoming tests and then the radio played "Blessings" by Laura's story & what really stuck out to me this time is the line:<br />"all the while you hear each desperate plea but your love is just to much to give us lesser things" <br />All morning it kept going through my mind.<br /><br />Yeah, I'd def be thankful about the NY-LA thing. A couple weeks ago I road from upstate NY to TX and it's exhausting. Everyone in the car has said "we're not driving back to NY anytime soon" we all made it in one piece, thankfully.<br /><br />Do you have any advice on just sticking with your WIP? You know when your at the point where you know you have a story & you've written some but your like, I'm not sure where to take it next? So you want to stop but I REALLY am trying to get it written.
