We have found a PLOT!

And it's a good one, if I do say so myself. :)

Finally sat down with my various notes for Puck, and actually figured out the plot. Now that I have that, I have an idea of the main characters, and I can actually start making them up. What a concept. :)

Got about 500 words written tonight, between finishing up Puck's character sketch, doing the plot summary, and coming up with the main characters. I have also noticed that I seem to need at least one big battle in each book. I believe it may be the final residue of Tonix in my makeup. :)

So we got a good start tonight. I'm going to make the attempt to be up early tomorrow morning to do some writing before I head to work.

More tomorrow!

Hey, how are you doing the character sketching?

Actually, I'm using the formatting set up in Zette's 2YN class. It's just a series of attributes and questions she came up with for the class. Unfortunately, I can't share them - but I can definitely recommend the class to anyone who has a chance to take it next year! It's the Forward Motion 2YN (2 year novel) class.

But there was another suggestion that Beard passed on from Sheila's website: three questions to ask each character:

1. Who are you?
2. What do you want?
3. What is the worst thing that I as an author can do to you?

I'm also going to do this with all the characters...

And, of course,as a last resort, there's always ye olde random character generator! :)

I like the three questions.
