Thinking About...

[author-a-holmes]

Might I recommend Abbie Emmons Youtube Playlist & guide to the 3-act-story structure? (She also has free PDF downloads of her breakdown linked in the video descriptions)

She has a video series breaking down each point in the structure, and then giving examples of that point in real story examples. The reason I suggest this for stringing together scene-snippets that you already have is twofold.

As you work through the short 15-20 minute videos in order, you'll gradually be able to see what beats of the story your snippets already cover, and slot them in at the appropriate points.

As a bonus, once you've reached the end of the videos, you'll have a full outline to work from.

I draft my outline in a program called Storyline Creator (about 7euro's a month, so not free), but when I'm working on a story outline, I always play through Abbie's Videos. It helps me make sure that I have everything in place I need to tell the story, and when I get to a beat that I already have a snippet for, I can slot it in ready to write out in full when I reach that point in the story.

Hello, writeblr, I need help.

Does anyone have any tips on plotting and stringing scenes together in a cohesive way? I feel like I have all these floating pieces. Scenes and themes and developments I know I want to happen, but everytime I go to put them together I feel like I'm missing something...

Help!

On the Cost of "Enlightenment"

“Write the story that you were always afraid to tell. I swear to you that there is magic in it, and if you show yourself naked for me, I’ll be naked for you. It will be our covenant.” — Dorthy Allison OK, Dorothy, here I go Today over pancakes, I was regaling my husband with one of my many regrets and less-than-great moments. I can’t even remember what it was about, but he is used to this from…

My Practice for Now

Writing regularly is a discipline like any other craft. Making time, sitting without inspiration, and plunging ahead with few ideas is the name of the game. Will it be perfect? No. Publishable, not likely. Yet, we still have to carry on and see what happe

Just Another Day

Sometimes I just want to hear about someone's ordinary day. It's probably presumptuous to assume anyone would want to hear about mine, but here goes!

Appreciating the weird, stressful, and ordinary. Isn’t that what life consists of? The day started late–7:49 a.m. I’m usually up at 6:15 or so brushing, flossing, washing, etc before doing a bit of journaling and then 20-30 minutes of yoga, meditation, or just staring into space. I don’t mean for this to sound special, a look-at-me kind of thing; it’s just what I do to get the day underway.…
