I saw yet another class purporting to teach plotting for pantsers - this one to sell you software - and so I'm ranting about how ALL WRITERS PLOT, that your process is fine as is, and that you don't need to outline!

Some discussion of the elephant in the room and what we don't talk about regarding whether or not our books are successful. Also why we must learn our artistic process and own it, then improve without trying to change it.

Grace's Facebook post is here (https://www.facebook.com/grace.draven/posts/10222439615552000) and the Passive Voice article I mention is here (https://www.thepassivevoice.com/gaming-the-publishing-industry/?fbclid=IwAR20cQwRWIIKnys-XbFi2b7TqUCHr59Q_fGh3ezROsFe9uzfPVv1SnhwW_M).

Do You Knit… or WEAVE?

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog

Our topic at the SFF Seven this week is… knitting? Did our calendar guru pick this for Mother’s Day week, or is it a coincidence?

Anyway, it’s not the knitting you think. (Or not the knitting *I* thought.) We’re asking each other if we write scenes piece by piece and knit them together, or if we have ever had to knit-in scenes? Come over to find out how I handle this.

Talking today about process, owning it - and how it's okay to get hives hearing about someone else's process. Also raving about the movie Wild Rose, discussing art and sacrificing for it - and conversely, taking time off.

The movie Wild Rose is here (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5117428/).

Leslye Penelope's podcast on process is here (https://lpenelope.com/2020/02/everything-is-fine-my-imaginary-friends-episode-53/)

On finishing THE FATE OF THE TALA and how my process differs between trad and indie books. Also on introversion and noise, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and why it's not awesome for authors to sign multi-book deals.
