Writing Wednesday - Seven Deadly Murders Redo
With November traditionally being a 'novel writing month, I am participating in The Rough Draft Challenge sponsored by Sarra Cannon. I have quite a bit written on the story already. However, I have been very unhappy with how the story was going. After mulling over the situation and the story for months, I realized I was trying to put too much into the story. Subplots are fine and enhance a story. However, I was trying to subplot my subplots!. Anyway... Last week, since I had several days off, I sat down and in a couple of hours walked through my existing notes on the novel and made a roadmap of the story. It is basically a scene-by-scene progression of the story. Besides the scenes, I also noted the time between certain scenes and a couple of other notes on the story I wanted to be aware of. There is a secondary time line which will merge with the major time line, but that will be easy enough to slot in. I feel really positive about what is up on the wall. I now have a path...
