That's what keeps writing fun. You never quite know where you're going or how you're going to get there. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by! (and sorry for the late response)

Oh don't tell me I'm becoming a plotter in my old age! No offense plotters!!!
Ah well, goes with my reading glasses. 😉

Minion duct tape!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
The story is there. Just play around with different ways of coaxing it out. Mind mapping, brainstorming with a friend, index cards/post it notes ... so many options.
Get to it!!

It makes sense though that the process will morph a bit. After all, you're not writing the same story each time. Doesn't help much when you're dog paddling up a deadline with an uncooperative process but at least you know you'll eventually get to the other side. 🙂

LOVE The Plot Whisperer!

I used post it notes except they always came off the wall, especially after being moved once or four times. With index cards I have an excuse to buy funky tape. 🙂

In some my characters take me on lovely tangents; in others I have to plot every move (well, as much as I can possibly predict). And every project is new, fresh and absolutely terrifying until I get the process right for that book.
Thanks for sharing. Happy writing.

Good luck, Orly!

I am, or perhaps I should say, I hope to embark on my next novel that I've let sit for way too long as I went into a major rewrite and edits of the previous book. I am horrified that I may not be able to jump back into a story that's almost half way written. Yet, after working with Rachel Funk Heller, the author of the Writer's Coloring Book, I am convinced the story is there in my subconscious somewhere. Where? That is the question. Meanwhile, my toilets and kitchen looks fabulous. I am going to have to duck tape my butt to the chair soon. I am determined to do this. You inspired me today! 🙂
