Plotting a Great Story


\
They say every great story follows the same plot line. When I see a new movie there's something inside me that makes me compare it to the basic Star Wars Synopsis. I've seen this done with The Wizard of Oz, Back to the Future and other really popular movies. 
Too bad I don't consider this when writing my own books. I always see it after the fact. Then I'm too tired of the story (writing and rewriting, editing and reediting) that I just move on. Usually I have more than one book going at a time and that's my worst habit. 
Today I painted rocks all day. Tomorrow I shall write! 
(I do have that vampire to torture. It's time for her call to adventure. )

Last Day of NANOWRIMO --- Oh No!

 Where did the month go?  Certainly not on the page. I have an outline, some character sketches but mostly I have a lot of research notes.  ...
