His connect the dots statement sounds to me like simply moving from one event to the next. When I say connect the dots, I mean the actions/conflict/events that move from one plot point to the next. BTW - I love the example of the wave you give on your site. Good stuff!<BR/><BR/>Anne - My husband webs all of his ideas, even when he takes notes in meetings. I can't make heads or tails of it! When it comes down to it, my plot points are guiding lights. I make ALL kinds of detours trying to get to my destinations. That's what makes it fun!<BR/><BR/>Helene - Anytime. I've referred to your post as I'm working several times.<BR/><BR/>Bish, Green Girl, and PJ - I love how generous the writing community is in sharing ideas and pointers. It has been a tremendous help to me.Nora MacFarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575333078760106784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468924125790416797.post-39908792976469553072009-03-26T10:47:00.000-04:002009-03-26T10:47:00.000-04:00think we all write differently. I make this weird ...think we all write differently. I make this weird web with words like "buttons show" or "Heather not convinced" then write. <BR/><BR/>I always WANT to have a method to my madness, but I just sort of go and fix it along the way. Even when I try to organize it beforehand, the plot seems to develop a life of its own. Not sure if this happens to other folks...Anne Spollenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915171740680350711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468924125790416797.post-84106940376282868362009-03-25T13:41:00.000-04:002009-03-25T13:41:00.000-04:00I recently just posted about motion in your novel....I recently just posted about <A HREF="http://theinnocentflower.blogspot.com/2009/03/motion-of-your-novel.html" REL="nofollow">motion in your novel</A>. Interesting that I used a quote by Nathan Bransford who said NOT to connect the dots. But I think you're using the term differently.<BR/><BR/>I'm also doing a series of posts on the <A HREF="http://theinnocentflower.blogspot.com/2009/03/inciting-not-exciting-pt-1.html" REL="nofollow">Inciting Incident</A> and will be posting the second one next week. It sure is complicated, but it seems to be the way that I have worked through plot on my novels. Thanks for a great post!Michelle D.
