In the last episode, we began
our look at a process method I call Plot 7. This week we finish the Plot 7 and
our series on Discovering Plot. Coming up for February are four episodes
on Overcoming Writer’s Block.
The Plot 7 is wonderful for
sparking ideas for a new novel or novella. It’s too deep for a short story.
In the Plot 7 are the 7 most
important scenes for the novel. We covered the Beginning, the Very End, and the
Roughest Moment / the Ordeal. This episode covers the last 4 … and these are
the hardest four.
By the time writers finish
these 7 scenes, we have a great start on the story.
The between-scenes and
sequels will remain for us to write—but we’ll know our direction and the whole
process of drafting the novel will flow easily.
