Exercise #967: Craft
Posted  11/4/22

Do you plot? Some authors have a detailed plot before ever setting "pen to paper," while others let a story run where it will. Both methods have their pros and cons.

For today's exercise, think about this question and then write! Share with us what you do, why you do it that way, and what you do about it when it goes sideways.

Critiquers, along with the usual grammar, spelling, etc, review, consider these questions:
     * Could you relate to this piece? Why or why not?
     * Was this piece helpful to you as a writer? Why or why not?
