Inglor! No!

Finishing stuff is hard. I think that’s easy to forget sometimes, but it’s no less true.

As far as screenplays go, closest I’ve gotten was a stage play, so…[Read more]

Ah yes, the middle act, the fun and games part, the exhaustive what-are-we-even-doing-right-now pile of pain.

What I’ve recently found to help me (being myself in the final stages of plotting a novel) is to think of this part of the book as when the characters face two big obstacles to reaching their goal, and the aftermath of either…[Read more]

@liskaboyce

Whaley’s response is lovely and says quite what I was going to, so I’ll only add:

Ugh. Yes, there are so many different styles of plotting that it gets hard to find one that will work for you. I’ve tried several and have eventually ended up with one that’s a sort of mix between three-act and beats, but using bullet points.

Ah, I see that is quite a time difference. Hopefully you’re getting some much needed rest by now, but just in case you aren’t (or for whenever you happen to check…[Read more]

Those are very logical reasons, yes. *Nods seriously*

Ah, she hath thrown back the question at me! Let’s see…*thinking noises*…I’d have to say ride a dragon for a day. I didn’t say I couldn’t also own a horse at some point, and I would love to know what flying on the back of a giant fire breathing reptile would feel like. For…[Read more]

You’ve already got some wonderful stuff, but I’ll throw some more in because I too have free will.
