The Intricacy Of Plotting A

I Try Not To Divide Plot And Character. I Get To Know A Character By What They Want And Fear And How Those Internal Forces Play Out In Their Lives.

I Always Think I Know The Way A Novel Will Go. I Write Maps On Oversized Art Pads Like The Kind I Carried Around In College When I Was Earnest About Drawing. I Need To Have Some Idea Of The Shape Of The Novel, Where Its Headed, So That I Can Proceed With Confidence. But The Truth Is My Characters Start Doing And Saying Things I Don't Expect.

I Prefer True Over Happy Now.
