Novel Quest #4 Plots! Oh, those nasty plots!
The Trouble With Plots Hello fellow friends & writers. I have finally recovered from the holidays, so now back to work! My first post in 2019 is about plots. Plots are a baseboard. A basic foundation to your story. The trouble with plots is there is a finite number of the plots in the universe. Maybe nine. Or less. Anyway, people twists themselves into a frenzy trying to come up with an original plot no one has heard of before. I have one word of advice: RELAX. Plots are simply a way to organize your story. It is the springboard from which your character's journey jumps off. It is how you can structure your novel. So relax. worry about creating exciting characters and dialogue. More to come in novel quest. So, keep writing and reading! Cheers, Verna McKinnon
