| Plotting with help from The Plot Whisperer |
If you're one of those character driven writers, such as myself, plotting your story is like plucking your own feathers. With a little help from The Plot Whisperer, aka Martha Alderson, and her Plot Whisperer's Workbook, I moved my plot to a larger canvas, craft paper. To represent different ideas, such as action sequences, I chose a specific color post-it. For Devin's emotional development, hearts! Being the visual learner that I am, this method worked wonders in revealing holes, weak spots, or just to tie your sub plots together. Right away, I noticed a thing or two to wrap up one of my sub plots using my visual. Next to the hearts, I added 'Obstacles' and 'Stands to Lose,' as part of the story-evaluation in the workbook. Add another color for your antagonist(s) and voila! Will definitely try this method for future outlinings of plots! Thank you, Plot Whisperer, for your inspiration and the many great videos in your series. Those are helpful, as well!
