"For a novel that features one of the few strong female protagonists in Victorian literature, it’s ironic that the author, Charlotte Brontë, had to publish it under a male pseudonym."

Plot: an event or series of events in which the internal is transformed by the external.

Someone gave me an idea for a writing book that needs to exist and now I have spent entirely too much of my day pondering this. I have filled a 5x7 post-it with notes. It might be my NaNoWriMo project. #amoutlining #amwriting

I’ve been thinking about what’s not quite working in my first draft, and how I might fix those issues over the next drafts. This quickly grew too long for a Mastodon thread, so I wrote a blog post.

RT @darlingaxe: The Hero’s Journey vs Three-Act Structure

The hero’s journey can be a bit daunting, but when we superimpose the terms of three-act-structure on it, it becomes a lot more familiar.

Story Skeleton: Anne of Green Gables

"Anne of Green Gables has an unusual story shape not only because it’s a coming-of-age narrative but also because it’s a tragedy."

Pitch and four page outline drafted for a new book this morning. It’s not many actual words, but I always find it quite full-on, because you’re basically writing the whole book in miniature. #AmOutlining #WritingCommunity

Happy New Year Everyone!

To start off the new writing year, I’m spending the first week or so #outlining Book 2 in my series while I take a short break from #editing Book 1. I can’t wait to write Book 2, but Book 1 needs to be finished first.

I took a week off from #writing over Xmas and New Years and I’m so excited to get back to my writing again.

Wishing all you #writers out there a wonderfully productive and inspiring year.

I’ve been working on my outline for book 6 (Nursery) of my #DarkNebula series. I’m hoping to start writing it next week. It’s set to release in August of next year. In my other spare time, I’m finishing up converting book 1 (Isolation) into Google AI narration. I’ll have it up on the play store in the new year for free.

This morning’s writing work - finished first draft of a sequel pitch for the book on sub. Then I outlined the pitch for a standalone thriller on my morning walk. Audio recorder lets me mutter it to myself. The dog walkers I encounter are used to it by now. #AmOutlining #WritingCommunity
