I scout chapters.

Send out runners to see where each new chapter will lead before I start writing it.

Spontaneity crushed, right?

Flow soured?

‘Je ne sais quoi’ squashed underfoot?

Maybe. But a novel’s cohesion can NOT be poo-pooed.

Choppy structure will kill a story dead…

‘Kill a story dead?’

As opposed to what? Birthing a plot zombie? Don’t want one of those running amok in your yarn.

Geesh, I need to start scouting these blogs.

Until tomorrow…
