Hello my friends - oh, that reminds me of a Simon and Garfunkel song. Someone else shared Sounds of Silence during the First Loves blogfest. Maybe that's why its stuck in my head. But first . .
So here we are at the easy-peasy Appreciating the Zealotry that was April post for Romantic Friday Writers, and I'm practically the last to post my link. For this challenge (#36) we are to pick a favorite blog post from I had a story start that I wanted to put up, see what ya'll think of my kinda-sorta YA attempt; but it is on the desk top computer in my office and my Bug has absconded with the video cable to do some thingy whatever with his friends, his computer and a TV. I'm not sure what to buy, or how to explain it, and I certainly wouldn't know where to correctly plug it in, so . .
My April blog post link leads to my submission for Madeline Maddocks Plotting Blogfest. It was a cool blogfest, and made me think about how I do plan out a story concept. Made me proud of myself for the work that does go into it - even if it is just a little section at a time.
How about you; how do you plot out your novel, short story, or flash fiction concepts? Does poetry need plotting? Check out my Plotting Blogfest entry here, and if you wish to join RFW for this challenge, click the linky here and add a link to your own favorite April post - or two.
Have a good weekend everyone; see ya 'round the blogs.

Hi Partner. Was worth coming by just to listen to my boys singing again. Much better version than I managed to find for the blogfest.
Thank you for posting. A shame you couldn't post what you wanted to.
Maddy's Plotting Blogfest was good.

How do I plot? I guess the best way to describe it is that I see the book in my mind like I'm watching a movie and I write down the key points.
I'm still trying to figure out the whole plotting thing!
Love love love that song- we just had a fab singalong.
And HELLO! I'm so sorry I've not been by in a while - nice to see you.

Who knows how plotting happens? I wait for a character to show up and then follow them around with a note pad.
Dear Donna,
Thanks for reminding me of that song (smile). Not sure how I plot? I only can write with Indian music and emotions. I believe something comes from all of it (smile again). Thanks fort sharing my friend.
That song always haunts me greatly. It speaks to me of very sad and untold tales.
One of my favorite songs of all time and one that I turn up when its on the radio. A timeless classic. They look so young in this pic. Glad they got together for those shows a number of years back.
Plotting and revising are my favourite parts of writing a novel. I endure the middle bit :)
Will check out the post now.
Hi,
No plotting... I love portrait galleries and often ponder who some people are when it is not made clear, the subconscious then plays devil's advocate during overnight slumber, hence movie like stories complete: my job to put characters' stories into words. Painting Pictures with Words! ;)

I plot out a story by asking questions. Who are the protagonists? What are they doing? Why are they doing this? Where is all of this going? Who are the villains, etc.
I don't write much poetry. When I did, it was very spontaneous, kind of "pantsing" really. It's just a different process with me.
I'm an outliner...pure and simple. Short stories are the only thing I write off the cuff. :)
