Plug it in

August 16, 2008 R.J. Keller

Well, I racked up three different blog entries yesterday without once mentioning that chapter 24 of Waiting for Spring was posted on Thursday at Readers and Writers Blog.

If you’re a student of writing fiction, you’re probably familiar with basic plot structure: introduction, conflict, climax, resolution. Personally, I like to look at it like this:

1) Introduce bucket of shit.
2) Turn on the fan.
3) Toss contents of bucket at fan.
4) Give the characters a shower.

Let’s just say that by chapter 24 of Waiting for Spring, the fan is whizzing at full speed.

Oh, this sort of ‘chapter’ post now gives me the wibbles. [sticks fingers in ears]
‘La la la la la la la…’ I’m not listening. I’m not listening. I’m not listening.
‘La la la la la la la…’

(Congrats on the anniversary by the way… I’m only just catching up on the last few days’ posts.)
