I suspect it's more what happens in our brains than on our papers when it comes to plotting, although some kind of organization helps a lot.<br /><br />Shakespeare -- Yup, those characters CAN just disappear, or plot threads get dropped. I'm not sure what the options are for marking e-text, but they'd be worth exploring.<br /><br />Medeia -- Me too, as I never considered plotting my strong suit. I love craft books. :)Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-28989297543222177742011-09-06T16:47:07.672-05:002011-09-06T16:47:07.672-05:00Great interview, you two.

They just disappeared. <br /><br />I don't think I'd want it on e-book, though. I'd want to mark pages for reference, I think.Dr. Cheryl Carvajalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323455180953109460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-35555620699243780782011-09-04T05:18:58.208-05:002011-09-04T05:18:58.208-05:00This realyl does sound like a useful book.

I do much of my plotting on taped-together scrap paper, using a timeline with arrows going back and forth and scribbled in bits at the top and bottom. I could obviously use some organization, and Chris's book sounds like a good place to start.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-34032916259756285542011-09-03T23:11:11.638-05:002011-09-03T23:11:11.638-05:00Great interview, Marcia!
