Why do you \u201cmeh!\u201d when a fellow writer advises you to plot your story after you \u201ccried wolf\u201d- you just complained to everybody about your huge writer\u2019s block.<\/strong><\/p>\n Writing words is easy. You somehow assimilate yourself to your hero \/heroine and live their journey. You forget that the hero\u2019s journey in your book is not about you (even for your memoirs).<\/p>\n You are satisfied by your skill of writing thousands of words. And you blame the world that doesn\u2019t understand you for the continuous list of rejections. You ignore the subtle or not-so-subtle feedback about the lack of logic of your story, the inconsistency of the characters or the lack of professional editing and keep writing until you hit the writer\u2019s block and you complain.<\/p>\n The process of story planning, the plotting is the red pill (Matrix reference). You take it and you discover that solid story architecture is the key to moving. It makes sense to have separate files for every character, location, and research note. You decide the number of chapters and the types of\u00a0scenes before you start\u00a0writing. You go through the process of\u00a0writing down\u00a0a logline, a premise, a timeline, the outline, and the synopsis.<\/p>\n You discover the real writer\u2019s freedom.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why do you \u201cmeh!\u201d when a fellow writer advises you to plot your story after you \u201ccried wolf\u201d- you just complained to everybody about your huge writer\u2019s block.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16380,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4,6,109],"tags":[112,9,111,113,84,62,99,100,110,79],"class_list":["post-16377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-4","category-asengana","category-writing-life","tag-amwriting","tag-asengana","tag-indieauthor","tag-novel-writing","tag-plot","tag-writers-way","tag-writers","tag-writing","tag-writing-software","tag-writingcommunity","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asengana.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
