I do 'plot' before I start writing but try not to make it too detailed otherwise I personally find it detracts from the spontaneity of writing. The moment as you are writing that a character's motivation or goal becomes clear or where you can take their conflict further. That moment can be a fabulous light bulb moment and inspire me further. <br /><br />What I do find very useful is to cut and paste what I have plotted for each chapter and place it at the start of each chapter as an easy reference point as I am writing to remind myself what I had intended for that chapter.<br /><br />But you have reminded me to be better about revising the background/plot/synopsis - whatever you call it - as I write.<br /><br />Thanks once again. :)Jennifer Denyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874915507870085008noreply@blogger.com
