Thanks, Sheila! I’m looking forward to writing one novel after another again, the way I did when I was learning how to write! The difference now is that each one will take longer to write–because I know how! Hoping you and I can encourage each other on our works-in-progress!

Comment on Filling in the Plotting Blanks by lindag22

Thanks, Diane! A comment like yours makes my day! I could’ve written that same comment when I first realized I could put the Hero’s Journey, the three-act structure, and my plotting boards together and actually SEE my plot and manipulate it on a wall instead of having to deal with a written synopsis. At this time, I’m plotting a new novel and without my plotting boards and the Journey and Structure, I’m not sure that would be possible for the book I’m envisioning. I’m so glad my book is helping you! Thanks for letting me know!

I have half a library of books on craft and added this one by mistake. And what a grand mistake it was! This, and no other, book has synthesized my thoughts, clarified the plot lines, and allowed me to fall into glaring holes in the story that has been running around in my head for months now. It’s provided a framework on which I can work. My story now makes sense. Kudos to you in spades!
Thanks ever so for taking the time to put this little book together. While it is small in size, it is ever so large in scope.

Thanks so much for letting me know that my plotting methods worked so well for you! Like you, I had a really difficult time keeping up with everything on paper. And writing a synopsis was a bigger task than I could handle. Once I started using my plotting boards, so I could SEE the various parts of my plot, it was so much easier to fill in all the blanks and write the synopsis! I really appreciate your wonderful comments!

I wish I could remember where I heard about your book but I am so thankful I did. I had a sagging book and was growing more discouraged. I’d tried the Hero’s Journey. I’d tried the Three Act Structure. I even had the idea of trying to get them to fit together. Never seemed to work for me.

I see why, now. I was trying to keep it organized on paper. If only I had thought to do it with cards. After getting your book, and my initial ‘du’oh’ moment, I immediately trotted out my trusty index cards and set to work.

I can see from my own initial experience using it that it’s a technique that can’t be beat.

Your book is tight, informative and simple to follow. It’s not filled with extraneous information. All I needed was right there. Thank you so much for writing it!

Glad to see your plotting book recognized. It’s the only one in my library. Thanks, Linda.

Thanks, Cathi! Coming from a novelist, it means a lot to me that you use my plotting system when you plot your books. It’s wonderful that PLOTTING has made the top 50! I’d love to see it climb higher on the list! Thanks again!

How wonderful that Plotting is on the list of the top 50 writing books selling on Amazon! I’ve read it, use it, and love it! Any writer who doesn’t own a copy should purchase one today. A helpful tool absolutely all writers of any genre should own. Great news, Linda.

I wish you all the success!
