You have to be that jazzed to start out or you'll never finish.

The more I want to talk about it, the more that indicates it's "the one" to work on atm.Carradeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431561739001270522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021826296342479548.post-52534494356119599412011-04-29T01:12:18.250-04:002011-04-29T01:12:18.250-04:00I always start off with something but the idea get...I always start off with something but the idea gets out of hand. I think I need to do some more trial runs. I wish I could tell when I have the One. It's like finding a man.

Not only that, I know it's the ONE when I think "What if?" followed by an answer, followed by "Then what?" another "Then what?" and the plot snowballs on its own. It's only ever happened to me once, and I've had to shelve the project to focus on a more immediate one, but I can't wait to get back to it!J.C.

You're totally right tha...Great point, Ghenet!<br /><br />You're totally right that characters with no plot can be a lovely character study but they do not a story make. For a story to work it definitely needs a strong plot in addition to the great characters.<br /><br />I think it's when I finally have that A-ha moment where the plot clicks into place that I know for sure "this story is the ONE."Gabriela Pereirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007834914023986058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021826296342479548.post-45072611505907333452011-04-28T11:39:53.082-04:002011-04-28T11:39:53.082-04:00I agree with your points.

If I love the characters, that's all well and good, but the story won't work if there isn't a solid plot to put them in.Ghenet Myrthilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621168379560585094noreply@blogger.com
