I so appreciate the part where you talk about not finishing the story on the first draft. Even when you begin with the end in mind, you don't know your characters well enough until you've been writing them for a bit. There's an organic part of it that has to be accounted for and it can be really discouraging to find that the outline you started with isn't right. Especially if you're trying to share the story chapter by chapter with a group as you write. Hearing you speak on this reaffirms my belief that we have to give ourselves the grace to know that the story itself is going to change along the way. It's not a bad thing. It's just another part of the process.
. Here’s a summarized breakdown of her process: 1.Initial Brainstorm: Start with a broad idea and perform a "brain dump" of potential elements, without focusing on details. This low-pressure stage helps shape the concept while avoiding overthinking or shutting down ideas prematurely. 2. Develop a Logline: Create a concise, one-to-two sentence summary of the novel's main character, conflict, antagonist, and stakes. This step helps clarify the story's core. 2. Character Development: Build detailed profiles for the main characters, including their background, motivations, and personality. Even antagonists need fleshed-out motivations to drive the plot. The author emphasizes knowing the characters well before writing. 3. Plot Structure: Begin with five key plot points: the point of entry, inciting incident, midpoint, climax, and resolution. These create the story's backbone and provide a clear framework for progression. 4. Sticky Notes Stage: Use sticky notes to brainstorm scenes and place them on a whiteboard aligned with the story's arc. The goal is to generate ideas quickly and sort them later. 5. Plot Grid: This method, inspired by J.K. Rowling, organizes the story's plot and subplots in a grid format. Each column represents a plot or subplot (e.g., main plot, romance, friendship) and each row represents a chapter. The grid ensures that each subplot has development and resolution. 6. Drafting: The first draft is based on the plot grid but often changes during the process. The author refines the story by alternating between drafting and revising the plot grid, constantly iterating until the final version. The process emphasizes structure and flexibility, allowing room for discovery while maintaining a clear plan for character development and plot progression.
That is why I hate to plot. Only "plan" I have is: 1. End of the World is coming! - some strange, possibly insane, man told that so it is legit for a group that suspiciously looks like a band of investigators from Call of Cthulhu game. But they are realistic, so insane lunatics that don't have a problem with killing someone to "defend the world from evil/destruction/whatever" - Greater Good! Lets add some people who are not crazy. 2. OK, that is not End of the World, but s*** hit the fan. 3. THEY are here. Those who survive previous adventures now knows what "bad" means. And it is really bad. 4. Final Twist.
I'm a TH-cam writing process, writing, etc. junkie. Having consumed hundreds (thousands?) of these, I find myself judgmental on them. Wow! I was surprised by your candid and thorough discussion. A favorite now added to my how to list. I'm a Subscriber now. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this reference tool.
My problem has been initial ideas. I have a basic understanding of story structure and whatnot, but listening to you brainstorm has been inspirational for me. Thank you so much for sharing your process
my problem is i have 100's of ideas but get stuck after a few pages into it because you then this happens. so I get basic story down in a few pages but then I have to fill in to make a book
The most difficult part of plotting a complex story is (at least to me, and I guess for everyone) the logical coherence of all the plot elements. Many good stories ideas with a good potential have been abandoned in their first plotting stage because they didn't pass the Why test. Giving coherence to all the elements of the story is like designing a machine and make it work flawlessly, no matter how.
8 books is amazing! Congratulations! I just started using Plottr on my new book and it's been super helpful. It lets you set up index cards on multiple timelines, take extensive notes on them, and move them around.
As a non-author non-writer kind of person who also has tended to read non-fiction throughout my life, I think this process of writing fiction is like sorcery because it's so challenging for me to think like this. I am grateful there are authors in the world who think in stories :) In the past year I have become way more interested in reading stories.
It's interesting to hear the perspective from a non-writer. I've been writing since a young age so I see stories in everything. it's kind of like how how people who gratitude journal a lot end up subconsciously looking for things to be grateful for. my brain is constantly thinking could this be tweaked into a story or that's an interesting concept now how can that be a story? at this point I don't even need to seek inspiration much because the act of existing is seeking inspiration to me.
I've been working on my first novel (sci-fi + paranormal + historical at the same time :D ) for the last 4+ years, although that hasn't been a lot of time because of my demanding day jobs. I had a general idea in mind (took the exact same steps as you at the very beginning: brainstorming, log line, characters), but never formalized the plot grid before I started writing. It just felt very natural because I had a pretty clear idea of what the first 10 chapters were like leading up to somewhere close to the midpoint . So far it's been fun and very smooth. I haven't quite reached the midpoint yet, but so far it's been pretty clear. Now because of a physical condition I haven't been able to write for the last 5-6 months, so I've been forced to take a step back and revisit my implicit "plot grid", only to realize that it gets really foggy moving forward, and I have no clear idea anymore about how to reach the mid point exactly, and beyond that it's even less clear. I definitely hear you, I'm a plotter. I feel so lost right now, that I sense the urge to go through the plot grid exercise. Definitely a MUST right now, because the plot holes I'm anticipating and the pacing issues I'm starting to notice are going to be painful if I don't do that. I wish I had a whiteboard, but I have no space at home. Not quite the same in a spreadsheet from scratch, but it will have to do!
Wow, you’ve grown! Haven’t come across your channel in a while. Your confidence and camera presence has improved so much. And you’re beautiful as well. This was great. Thanks.
This reminds me of how we made adverts or ad campaigns when I started. We were not allowed to disrupt the brainstorming sessions with negative (or positive) remarks but had to wait until all had had their say and got all those juicy ideas on the board. Then we did a secondary brainstorming session with associated words for each idea. Then we started to go off on any idea presented to find the one that we all agreed on (with the AD - Art Director having the most weight in deciding). What this taught me was to not cramp the creative process and rather have a secondary session to edit, the same as I do when I write. I write first, then later, when I am done, I edit. Sometimes I wait until I have done a chapter, and sometimes a complete story.
I am not a plotter, but I am trying to figure it out. I've found that similar to your process, I like to create a vague outline, draft my novel, then revise my outline as I draft as things change. I'm still working out my process, but I really love hearing about other author's techniques. Thanks for sharing.
I am a natural pantser, but I have been wanting to learn this method to write a pilot, which is quite complex. I am going to give your method a try today. Thank you for sharing your insight. 🌺😃🌺
Sooo good! Was just looking up how to write a plot grid and found this video. So well described and said. I am definitely a plotter and have been writing things down but needed a structure to organize them. Thank you so much for sharing.
Well done! Showing the process real time. What I remind people who are resistant to any plotting at all is that whatever you preplan is only a path that offers guidance to what MIGHT happen. That plot will change as you go. And plotting can be as loose or as tight and detailed as you want it to be.
I love the idea of character comps. I typically tell myself that doing something like that would be a bad idea because I'm trying to write characters that are unique. But I'm starting to see you can do both. And I'm definitely going to use that for my characters. Also, I've fallen in love with the plot grid too, which I have you to thank for. So thank you! Haha. Thank you for another wonderful video!
Seems like an interesting system -- I may have to give it a try on one of my older drafts that kind of went nowhere after the first writing. Even if it means just bringing it back to the drawing board at phase one.
The distinction that I noticed between a Thriller and Horror novel, is that Thrillers are almost always realistic and deal with serial killers or homicides. While a horror novel is usually supernatural or deals with a phobia. Being afraid of a circus is a phobia. Not everyone will view circuses as scary, but if there is a legitimate reason to be afraid of a specific circus, then even those that aren't afraid of circuses will fear this one. Perhaps the horror only happens at a specific time, day, month, or season according to legend. Certain conditions need to be met and the protagonist is dared to meet those conditions. Which is a trope of horror novels but it's something that triggers fond memories of previous stories that started the same way, and becomes exciting for nostalgia's sake. It is better if the story doesn't end the same way as the trope usually does, or goes in a different direction than expected, peaking the reader's curiosity on where the story is going rather than being predictable and boring.
Interesting, a plot grid is something I might have to look into. I already keep a spreadsheet of all the world building and characters, and some of the architecture of the novel. A plot grid sounds like an excellent addition to this.
I have my handy dandy white board too! 😆 So useful. Love to visually see my plotline. Goodluck with your book! Sounds right up my alley. My idea is similar but more on the Dark Romance side.
Wrinkle: The killer clown has Disassociative Identity Disorder (multiple personalities) and girl falls in love with one of them, not knowing about the killer clown personality.
Awesome video! I'm generally a pantser. Probably only 25% is outlined maybe less. I don't know, something about structure limits my imagination. However, this video gave some really great insight on when plotting can be used that I never thought of! And the plot grid you mentioned seems like it's worth a try, maybe I'll try it! Thank you! Your videos always come when I need them!
I'm not writer or have wrote any books but I'm intrested on creating cool stories and be better storyteller. I thought of your process that you do all that research first before writing anything a bit intimidating for myself, but I guess that way of doing it might come handy if you do longer book size story and you are sure you will finish it (in other words love that idea). What I have recently found intresting and powerful for myself is iterating the text. Like if you got some ideas write them down and let it be what it is and then maybe next day if you don't have any new ideas on how to continue you take that earlier text and write it again and see if you come with new ideas to the text. But from your video I liked the part that you have the main bassline thought I find that way writing easier. That excel-sheet also looks intresting. but really? all that research before you write word to the book? not even small experiment text that "could this work?" or something.. well who I am to judge.
The process you are working with sounds pretty good; I wish it would work for me. Generally, I start writing from a dialogue scene. I always think in scenes, as I've always done comics, from a very young age, and then as a creative copywriter/art director in advertising agencies. Do you have any writing workshops I can take? Greetings from Guayaquil, Ecuador.
When ever I hear someone start talking about a traditional story, which your "horror" idea it, I can't help but think about flipping the trope on it's head. In this case, what if you had a murder circus who comes to a small town with the intention of killing everybody in the town, but gets preyed upon instead by the people who live in that town? Sort of a murder circus meets the Hills Have Eyes. And then all the details just start popping into my head. Would I ever write this? Probably not. I do super heroes, not horror.
Should your subplot(s) arc align with the story arc of the main plot? So the inciting incident of the main plot should also be when the inciting incident for a subplot happens?
I'm about 80% done with my novel, but I'm going back and recreating your steps (like creating a log line, and working out the plot points. Regarding organization for the latter: I have nine parts to the timeline, I find that my POE is the first half of part 1, and the Inciting incident is the second half of part 1. Then the midpoint covers three parts. Do you think this kind of fragmentation/division is a problem?
6:53 I don't know if you've solved this question on why the police hasn't found and stopped the killer, but I can tell you one reason why serial killer investigations stall - the late Michelle McNamara wrote a true crime book "I'll be Gone in the Dark" and one of the things she found during her research regarding the serial killer is that he travelled across state lines. Now police departments don't have a central database where they can or are willing to share information regarding ongoing investigations with police departments from different states. And especially in smaller towns, the police department may not have the technological resources necessary to share such information. So the police from all these states where this criminal was committing his crimes could not see the pattern of his crimes and that's why they never realised that only one man was responsible for all these crimes. It was Michelle McNamara who connected all the dots. So that can be something you could use for your story as circuses constantly travel from town to town, state to state.
Im an INFJ and i think these might be good for me to try cause I always need more refining before i feel ready to put it on paper. Doesnt help that Im writing a fantasy world.
I’m a plotter. But don’t want to be! But I feel naked if I don’t plot first! It’s like walking in darkness and there are cliffs. So no. I’ll plot all I want and write when I’m comfortable…ish. 🤷♂️
Can I get your quick impression of this log line? "The story of a greedy but well-meaning alien who abducts half a million people from Earth, his AI boss who decides it therefore must conquer and manage a now paranoid and pissed-off Earth, and the self-doubting tech firm CEO who must defeat them, but wonders if she should."
Oh my gosh!. If you’re looking for a video for the person spends the first two minutes rambling about nonsense, repeating the obvious, full of cliché, and impart no meaningful information whatsoever, then this is the one for you. Please, learn how to just get to the point.
Step one, shave half your head. Step two, dye some part of your hair blue. Step three, complain about everything. Step four, get a cat. Step five, move back in with your parents. Step six, complain some more (pro tip, be sure and use the word 'patriarchy' often in your rants). And finally, step seven, get hired by Disney to write a Star Wars show.
