Welcome to our 200th
episode of The Write Focus.
Yippee! We made it farther
than I ever anticipated, 200 episodes and into Season 5, and we still have more
episodes ahead. AND it’s all thanks to our listeners, who motivate us to keep offering
more and more.
Over our 200 episodes, we’ve
covered craft with plot and characters, process with sentence craft, productivity
with challenges, and tools for writers.
This episode is an update to
an old post, a Blast from the Past, with new insights to make it up-to-date.
For those of us raised on western story-telling and conflict and characters,
this method will seem an about-face. It works best for shorter tales—stories and
novellas rather than novels and epics. As we analyze it, you’ll see the reason
I say that.
The next two weeks will have
another look back at a plotting method from the early days of The Write Focus.
The Plot 7 is not a plot structure. Instead, it’s a method for writers to
develop quickly the skeleton of a novel or novella. Let’s call it a Process.
After a season on craft, it’s time we looked at process. Oh, and it’s a strong
way to supercharge your productivity after a season of disruptions and
distractions, totally suitable after the holiday season.
So, without more rattling on,
let’s look at our Blast from the Past, Kishotenketsu.
