In reply to Luther. Thank you so much, Luther, nothing makes me happier than to help writers get their stories onto the page and out into the world.

In reply to victoriabelueschaefer. After I read your blog yesterday I went to see The Crimes of Grindelwald. At some point in the film I realized I was taking mental notes of all the backstory relayed through flashbacks and dialogue. You were absolutely correct, there was tons of it. Big light bulb moment for me as I watched/listened to how a master storyteller like JK Rowling did it. Makes me want to see it again purely from a technical viewpoint. This helped me enormously.

Thank you for this valuable road map. It makes perfect sense to me. Now I will go back through my WIP nearing completion of its second revision to look for these markers. If they're not there, I will know that it won't be ready to send out to the world until they are.

Thanks again Lisa.

In reply to Jenny Hansen. I would love to present with her! At them moment though, she's just giving me a headache with her tough lecture notes and exercises. Oof, I can feel my brain stretching. :)

You gave me this gem last year and it made a lot of things work better in my writing: "..the story isn’t about the plot anyway, it’s about how the external problem the protagonist faces causes her to make a long needed internal change...."

And this post helps me work the above concept around my plotser/pantser self, so thank you. Thank you so much. I can do a scene by scene with this to find the holes a whole lot easier than the way I do it now.

I love it when I read a post I can USE.
