There's no chance I am sending any words downrange this morning, but I have spent two hours learning about horse disease vectors and pathologies--strangles, farcy, glanders--all for about three paragraphs of set up to introduce a couple of plot devices. #worldbuilding #amplotting #amwritingfantasy

Do you think all books should follow a formula? Why or why not? 👀🤔

Also, now I ask myself, is the messenger of the gods character I have envisioned for a later book (who was working for Apollo) is instead a psychopomp?
Ooo what if she encounters her love interest knowing she's supposed to die but she spares her instead and now the gods are mad? 🤔

New milestone - an IG reel got 3,000 views organically! And I had a third day in a row of KU page reads. On TikTok I got 600 views on a video with a lot of comments. YouTube shorts views are garbage now.
Going to plot and watch TV, then zumba class at 9:30 since I need to wash my hair. #amplotting

The writing assignment FOR the writing assignment has been splendid.
I now have 12 story devices I can pepper in to progress the plot and a character arc.
Mined from personal experience.
Should probably do some actual writing tomorrow though.

Ever wondered how to plan a novel? When I started, I pretty much didn't. The first version was terrible, so I started over with a plan. In the article, I write about best practices and how strict a plan should be.

How to Plan a Novel
A good book feels rewarding. The questions raised in its very first chapter follow the main character all the way to the last page. But how do you get there?

Hm. Intriguing. The muse just woke up a little and started tweaking plot line ideas for the next two #DarkSkyValley books. She's been pretty hush hush the past couple of months. Maybe we'll see #words again?

I swear, Mr FBI man, I'm not going to do any of these things I'm looking up.
Except maybe the poison garden because how cool would that be to be to show people you're house and be like hey look, I have a poison garden.

I relate so hard these days to that quote about balancing the desire to remain informed with the desire to remain sane.
But in other news, over here in imagination world, my cowriter and I did make a 2 book plan to world domination (in 1814). #skywriters #amwriting #amplotting 💙📚⏳⚡️

Thought I had this plus cocker spaniels but then Bert came along, lightning struck, lights went out, gales blew in and my writers block is because my fingers are so cold they won’t write on a keyboard that is black! #amalmostwriting #amplotting 🥶
All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

I’m plotting a #SF time travel story using an approach to time + the #multiverse that I haven’t seen done before, one that may “solve” paradoxes. This isn’t necessarily a _good_ thing, but it’s a fun risk to take. Plus I’m an indie author, so who cares! #amwriting #scifi #amplotting #timetravel
