Comments on: Plot for Romance Stories Part I https://writesex.net/?p=201 How to add erotic elements to your writing Fri, 29 Oct 2010 16:27:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Sascha Illyvich https://writesex.net/?p=201&cpage=1#comment-1461 Sascha Illyvich Thu, 30 Sep 2010 21:52:56 +0000 https://writesex.net/?p=201#comment-1461 Hales, I don't always plot out all my stories, nor do I use a huge outline. I use a basic one that gets me through the quick and dirty. Huge outlines are a waste of time unless you're Laurel K. Hamilton or Sherrilyn Kenyon with huge universes. I'm not there yet. You're just getting momentum to get the book done so you can sell it and move onto the next one, hence my method here. xoxo Hales,

I have a general idea and I map it out as I go so I'm 90% by seat of the pants 10% not. I do it to make sure I don't have a never ending story and it seems to work well for me. I couldn't imagine taking time to write it all out in an outline to then go back n forth to make sure I'm adhering. I am but a medium for them to spark to life.

We're writing stories we can sell. Quality must be present still. Thank you. Yes, that’s the point. We’re writing stories we can sell. Quality must be present still.

Stories are cookie cutter in formula, not in style or voice. Please link to it :)319144 Grace,

I plan to link this page to my blog. Mostly, to be honest, so I can easily find it in the future. Incident, Conflict, Confrontation = story You'd think this would be easy to remember. ...sadly, um, no. Bring on your next post. I'm ready. : ) Excellent primer –thank you for it.
