I’m sure you’re wondering how I choose the plot of my book. You know, the one I haven’t told anyone the plot of yet. Lo and behold, dear wanderer, your wishes have been heard! Here are five ways I chose the plot I’m currently reading. And I know, you may be thinking “Chrissy, how are there five ways to choose one plot?” but shhhh, it’s fine. It’s fine. Here’s the list!
- Darts! You write down a whole lot of plot points. Things like “Awkward encounter with villain in a coffee shop” and “The superpower of reading while running on a treadmill” are posted on a board and darts are thus thrown!
2. Wheel of plots! This, dear wanderer, is for the big plot. Things like “REVOLUTION” and “MAGICAL BOUNTY HUNTER GOES ON A BLIND DATE”.
3. Shower Thoughts! They say the best ideas come to you when you are lathering up. Now, if only I could pause singing and dancing long enough to think my plots through…
4. People watching. That little granny pushing the shopping cart? She’s probably the leader of an underground crime ring.
5. Staring Into The Void. The void sometimes has great ideas.
And there it is! My list of how I choose my plot. 🙂
Hope you enjoyed! May you get lost in a book.
