I've Had This Little Idea In My Head For A While Now, So I Decided To Sit Down And Plot It Out.

I've had this little idea in my head for a while now, so I decided to sit down and plot it out.

Disclaimer: This isn't meant to be some sort of One-Worksheet-Fits-All situation. This is meant to be a visual representation of some type of story planning you could be doing in order to develop a plot!

Lay down groundwork! (Backstory integral to the beginning of your story.) Build hinges. (Events that hinge on other events and fall down like dominoes) Suspend structures. (Withhold just enough information to make the reader curious, and keep them guessing.)

And hey, is this helps... maybe sit down and write a story! :)

Crowley and Aziraphale in disguise.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue arrives to the scene as Green is sulking on the floor, next to a collection of wilting potted plants. Blue looks at Green with concern.
Blue: What's wrong?
Green: Everything is bad, my plants are dying, my life is falling apart.

Blue offers Green a glass of water and a straw. Green drinks, without moving from his place on the floor.
Blue: Drink some water.
Green: Can't see how that helps, but sure.

Blue watches with mild surprise as Green jumps up, suddenly energet noic, obliviously knocking over the glass.
Green: Hey, I have energy again! I think I'll water my plants!

Soon, a caption above the foxes states "minutes later:". The formerly wilted plants are flourishing, and Green looks at them with surprise and delight. Blue, saying nothing, is looking at Green.
Green: Blue, look! My plants are ok! They just needed some water and were being dramatic about it!

Again. Crowley and Aziraphale.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting a respectable distance apart, facing each other.
Blue: I am a solitary man. I enjoy my personal space.
Green: I also enjoy your personal space.

With no further warning, Green leaps towards Blue, tackling him to the ground for a cuddle. Blue makes no resistance.

Title: New year’s Resolution Panel 1: A figure sits at a desk composing a note which reads “This year I will devote myself to reading serious literature, forsaking easy pleasures and tirelessly seeking out truth and profundity in the work of the greatest writers” Panels 2-5: The writer looks at the note then scratches out various portions. Panel 6: Most of the note has been scribbled out leaving only the following words: “This year I will… read… for… fun”

Happy New Year!

A sunny autumn day, leaves blow from the trees and two runners enter the park. One carries a coffee and the other has a lead attached to a dog who runs ahead ethusiastically. The first runner says “I’mtoobusytoreadsoIstartedlisteningtoaudiobooksat2xspeed.It’sincrediblehowmuchyoucangetthroughthatway.” The second runner replies “MetooI’vefinishedTolstoyandIshouldbedonewithProustbytheendoftheweek.” (In case your reader messes up the dialogue, it is the following exchange with no spaces, intended to evoke the feeling of hearing text at 2x speed: “I’m too busy to read so I started listening to audiobooks at 2x speed. It’s incredible how much you can get through that way.” “Me too I’ve finished Tolstoy and I should be done with Proust by the end of the week”)

Do you think people who are virgin should write smut? I feel like most of them don’t even know what they’re writing and just write what they think sex is

the implication this ask suggests that people who write about murders, cannibalism, politics, magic, royalty au, sci-fi, wars, supernatural, time travel, medieval era, werewolves, vampires, mermaids or goblins must be murderers, cannibals, presidents, wizards, royalties, astronauts, ghost hunters, soldiers, time travelers, knights, werewolves, vampires, mermaids or goblins in real life is so funny to me
