@olddudemindset9590

@@s.sumbrella7616 Great question. I would guess that you would have to formulate your plot more clearly. But as a starter, write down your vague idea and build it more clearly from there. I'm making a video I hope to post today, that started with a vague idea about an injured bird and my "Monkey Mind" (internal chatter) and wrote down my thoughts. As I wrote, starting from the end, or what resulted, it became clearer and clearer to me. It worked for me. The author of this video probably has even better ideas.

This was so simple to understand and helpful!

Your handwriting looks almost exactly like mine. Almost to the point that the circles around the numbers and even the general page organization is identical! Hello, my handwriting twin! Also, great video. I finally know how to get started on my story! UPDATE: I followed this method and have a rough plot outline worked out. I’m going to start scriptwriting soon (I’m making a comic book). If you were curious, the story is between a lone gunslinger who makes friends with a young doctor and tries to uncover an undercover Italian- American mob syndicate taking over a booming western city growing with the industrial revolution.

This just gives shallow structure of the main story objective, of course you would add more depth to it, I hope. I would add introduction of character and scene in the 1st act. 2nd act would be realization of crisis and conflict/friction to work together. 3rd act: parting ways of characters and their struggle. 4th act: realization of same goal and working together. 5th act: climax of working together works out and crisis has been averted. Shorthand: 1: introduction, 2: crisis and conflict, 3: struggle, 4: realization, 5: climax. You can also split each one in smaller pieces and ask the questions: who, what, where, when, why and how?

Hi Dawson, sounds like you are already doing a great job! As with everything practice makes perfect. I try to write everyday i can for at least 2 hours and am planning / working the rest of the time. In my latest project I've just completely cut out the first three chapters, loosing several thousand words. But I know the story will be better off for it. My point is, don't give up, keep at it until you feel happy with it. And then show it to someone you trust and get their feedback. Or better still trade and read theirs - start your own writing group. Ask for 3 good points and 3 ways you could improve so they don't shatter your confidence. I completely rewrote my first novel 12-15 times over 20 years ago. I do not regret throwing any of those words away. That process taught me how to write, or rather how to write a story that other people wanted to read. And enjoy reading other people's stories too! Good luck and keep well. Tom :)
