@daynalindsaywrites: How to plot out a book. Finishing a plot doesn’t have to be as hard as some blogs make it sound. Like every aspect of writing, plotting is a craft and open to interpretation. Experiment with different methods and tweak them until you have something that not only works for you, but that you also enjoy doing. ##howtowriteabook##plotting##writingtips##writingadvice##writertok

I’m on book one and I did the save the cat method and plotted out the full story in 2 days! Now writing good prose is my new hurdle.

i’m writing a book with a bunch of characters and i’m scared of overwhelming the introductions of them bc they’ll all be introduced in the same time (its students in class together)

I'm not a plotter at all😂 I start with ideas and scenes like frankensteins monster and go from there.

I won’t lie--I CAN’T plot. I'm a pantser writer. If I plan, it goes off track regardless

(spoilers mistborn book 1) so for example in mistborn the final empire the end of act 1 would be when kelsier shows his crew the plan to actually overthrow the lord ruler and when the action starts right? and the end of act 2 and start of 3 would maybe be the death of kelsier or the lord ruler?

My problem is coming up with filler scenes, they need to be important to the story but I just can’t seem to think of those connecting transitional scenes

I’ve been trying to be a plotter but my brain can’t seem to wrap around it. My story is constantly changing as I write towards the ending, so I’ve started embracing the unknown and letting the story tell itself to me which results in good days and bad days lol

I feel solid on plotting a single book, but I need advice and guidance on plotting out a series.

How do you ignore imposter syndrome as you work through draft 2? 😭

Is it bad if I just think of major plot points and twists AS I write 😭 barely any of a rough draft, pretty much just STRAIGHT into it

The thing is, in a pantser down to my core, but I always try really REALLY hard to be a plotter, which means I have an obsessive understanding of the big set pieces of my story, but none at all for the narrative connective tissue😅 That said, in my current writing project, I just finished putting together a chapter breakdown the other day and just started writing the first draft, which I'm very proud of myself for!

I ALWAYS struggled with act 1. It was easy getting a main idea for a story but I had a bunch of story holes😭😭

If you know you’re hoping to write a series or multiple books do you think it’s worth also having a loose “plot” for that overall idea? Or focus on each book as it comes and work from the ending of each book as it comes?
