Good morning, everyone!
Great session last night - and so glad to have seen all of you. Take a second to find that "Comment button" at the bottom of this post, and press it. "Sign In" and fill out a comment with your name if you showed up!
We're just the TemeculaWriters.blogspot.com - my mistake. Go to TemeculaWritersToolbox, and that is where Bev lives. :)
ANYWAY for those of you who didn't make it (as I often don't) I just wanted to give a quick over view of our session:
A few notes: We had a new member - Kelly - who is an inspirational romance writer - Welcome, Kelly! Ashley is back after several months off - thanks for the warm welcome, everyone.
After Sandy led us in prayer :) we had a group review of James Bell's Revision and Self Editing chapters 3 & 4 - Plot and Point of View, respectively.
Plot:
A review of the LOCK method. (Starts with Lead, ends with Knockout! Read it!)
An animated review of "The Hero's Journey"
Description of the three acts, and the two doors to propel readers forward.
Point of View:
A review of Omniscient Narrator, First Person, Third Person, and How tense the tense you choose can make your story (present tense or past tense).
Finally - we had time (!) to plot out a quick story - which was LOADS of fun for this author anyway. Feeding off each other's creativity, we plotted a story to make any lover of fantasy, romance, adventure, and Christian fiction proud. :) Well done. I'd call dibs on writing it, but I might have to arm wrestle Tyler, Pat, or Sharon and I'd lose to all three!
Have a wonderful day and PLEASE post a comment here. Ask a question if something is still nagging at you - and we're looking forward to our next exercise next month!
Many blessings on each of your writing as you attempt to work these lessons into your craft.
~Ashley

Thanks for the summary Ashley. Where would we be without you to keep us up on networking and publishing. You should never take a break....Sharon

I'm sorry I missed it. After the previous week, I found myself with no brain cells left. But I wanted to chime in here and at least let you know I do keep track! :-)
ReplyDeleteDona - can't wait to see you next time! thanks for lurking! :)
