O is for Organizing and P is for Plot and Publishing- The Next Letter in Our A to Z Challenge

O is for organizing your story. You can do that with a time line, an outline, or by taking notes. Whatever way you choose to organize your thoughts will help you in the end with plotting.


Plot is a key element in the story. Writers new and seasoned may have trouble with the plot of a piece of their writing. I would venture to say that plotting may be the main area where writer's block occurs. The author simply writes till there is no tomorrow and then comes up against a brick wall with the plot. It suddenly is going nowhere fast.

The plot of the story can make or break it when it comes to finding a publisher. A manuscript that is ready and polished will have a solid plot, one that has a hook at the beginning that makes the editor want to keep reading. Followed by the hook will come several conflicts that move the middle of the story  to a page turning  climatic scene. The ending must satisfy the reader and bring the conflicts to a reasonable and believable close.

Lesson here: A well woven plot will make your chances of being published more realistic. It behoves the author to study plot formation and to hone those skills. Seek books, resources, and mentors that can help you to learn the craft of plotting. You will see a difference in your stories and your characters as you learn this skill.

    to be running off the screen in Safari. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let
    you know. The style and design look great though!
    Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Thanks

  8. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But
    maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could
    connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?
