In which the Bards address several questions from Twitter:
* how do you deal with word count?
* how do you know when it's time to trunk a story, and how do you know when it's time to dust off a trunked story?
We continue our SUPER SPECIAL BONUS BOOK PLOTTING SEGMENT in which we start from nothing to build out a book idea to show you how pro authors flesh out the bones of a story. Week 1, we chose a genre, protagonist, and two secondary characters. Week 2, we talked about naming conventions for the book and created three more secondary characters. Week 3, we named the rest of our characters and discussed our antagonist. This week, we come up with the antagonist's name and backstory and talk about our chapter plotting map!
And, as always, we cover Things That Will Blow Your Mind.
Got a question on writing, publishing, books, comics, or the best kind of cocktail or gluten free goodies to power your creativity? Ask us on Twitter with hashtag #askthebards!
