Hi R.,

I just read your comment on the JK Rowling entry. I'll think about what you said regarding plot charts and get back to you asap.

Thanks for your comments!

Odd, I was required to sign up for a vox account and, when I did, it erased most of my original message.  So, as I wrote…

I am a writer too, amateur - yes, novice - yes, but a writer none the less.  I have finished one novel so far and am trying to produce drafts of two more novels this calendar year.  Hopefully, someday, somehow, I will become an author - professional and, hopefully, paid.

I have been using word for writing which works for me.  I have been using notepad for plotting and outlining - not so great when the plot gets complex.  I don’t know if this plot chart will meet my needs so I am hoping you will answer a few questions.  After using this for a few years, how is it working for you?  Are you still using this type of chart or have you discovered a better way?  Any thoughts about plot and structure that you would like to share?

Thanks!  www.rgarrettwilson.com

Hi Ryan,

I believe it was an oral news show interview on the internet, and I took notes while she spoke. I'm on vacation for another few days and away from my computer, but I'll look for the bookmark when I return. If I don't find it, there is another plot chart that I ended up using that I will send to you, adapted from a writing site by Anastasia Suen. It was easier to use for me in the end since I tend to get overly bogged down in details.

Could you email me the link to that interview with Jo Rowling?

Ryan

[this is good] I'm a huge fan of Jo Rowling.
