Character development is a higher priority than plot development for author, editor, and ghostwriter Kathi Macias. She always knows where the book will begin and end, but isn’t clear on what will happen in between. That’s because this part depends on the characters, so Macias devotes more time to developing and getting to know her characters. She uses a method that is described in her book, The Train-of-Thought Writing Method, which calls for authors to know the ins and outs of their characters, even if all the details won’t be mentioned in the book. For example, Macias believes authors should know what music a character would listen to in the car, or what he or she would buy at the grocery store. Thinking about these details helps bring characters to life and make them more three-dimensional.
You relate your words to your actions that create the plot of your short sales story through Internet Research work that helps you organize. Furthermore, you write the whole useful data or parts of it preparing to copywrite your full rough draft. So you'll write straight through with high-quality material information already present from your main character helping you think about scenes in chapters. You're plot is easier if your the main character of your sales story. If you have one scene, that can be a chapter or sixty scenes. Let it flow like cold water in your spiritual mind. Needless to say, making characters are only easier when following the rules from these short videos using your writing templates.
I enjoyed hearing a little about Kathi's process. Which there was a few more tid-bits about character development.
I would try writing at least a rough outline, just to give yourself a rough idea as to where you want your story to go.
I have to say that I can totally relate to not knowing what happens in between the story. I focus on my character and as they develop my story develops. I hate thinking about what will happen in each chapter because it constantly changes as I write.
This really helped me! I love character development, but struggle with plot development. By digging deep into the personality and characteristics of my characters, the plot naturally unfolded before my eyes! Thank you so much for sharing your words of wisdom!
