Plotting

Plotting to do something. I have started doing Shaunta Grimes (Ninja Writers) Plotting workshop, somewhat reluctantly. Reluctantly, I say, because I don't plot.

I am, at heart, a Pantser. So Plotting is an alien concept, but I want to know how, it might be a good thing to master? Shaunta basically says that a plot helps you to stay on track, stops the where-the-heck-does-the-story-go-next problem, keeps you true when distractions come rolling through.
The course, and plotting in general, introduces a lot of structure to the planned story, has to make editing so much easier... and will make the stories better.

I do believe that Plotting is one of those things that you can go into in as much depth as you like, or as little. I will probably Plot lightly once we're done, but we'll see. This is all part of the journey, the journey to improve my skill in this craft, Writing.
