Monday evening: The Cottage of Blog
The Cottage of Blog
this morning I managed several pages in the next section of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
I'm hot to trot on writing, but I thought I might take a step back this evening. I might haul out a novel I read and re-read and analyze it for content. Maybe outline the chapters. Even if I know how to write the motivational units action-reaction-dialogue etc. and scene-sequel, blocks, etc. it won't make much difference if my plot line is way over the top in credibility.
I've been thinking about the outlandish plot lines that Janie was mentioning in her post this afternoon, and she could have been talking about me! Gee, wait a minute. Maybe she was! Giggle.
I also thought about the short story. I used to write them all the time. Had several published, won a contest with one. Got panned in a contest on another (oh well) But you have to been concise in a short story. The plot line has to be simple and for the most part, free of subplots. It's just not long enough to hold one.
I'm eating a porkchop and fries if anyone wants one.
Gonna go feed the dogs, then pick out a novel for rereading.
Take care all. Happy reading, writing and revising from:
