Then again, a tasty whiskey or bourbon drink can get the creativity fired up. <br /><br />I like to outline each scene in Scrivener and do detailed character sketches - all in a week or two after the plot bunnies have their way with me. If I linger too long with the plot outline or character sketch, things get too diluted and far away from the seed idea. <br /><br />I'd love to see how you organize your character sketches some day.

I might try a Cosmo if ever I go to NYC, I'm reserving Singapore Sling for my trip to Singapore, and this summer, while in Atlanta, I'll have to try a mint julep. It would be wrong not to. In short, Liv, I make drink connections to. I agree with you and Cora about block. YOu don't know what comes next because you don't know your characters well enough. Could we blame it on plot? Ye-e-e-s. But plot is determined by a character's actions and reactions. No character, then nothing happens. <br /><br />Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926345421909415577.post-7355161471021066882013-04-08T09:23:29.592-04:002013-04-08T09:23:29.592-04:00It's an established fact that red wine helps m...It's an established fact that red wine helps me write.

I should have guessed that there'd be more than a few wine-drinkers in the crowd.<br />;)<br />Kyla, Kassandra and Debby, I agree with your choice of white wine. Reisling is a favorite...<br />And moderation is always a good thing, Mary...<br />Erin & Victoria, hopefully this post will give you some insight into the mechanics of storytelling... something to think about with the next book you read - or if you try to write one yourself ;)<br />And Mary Jo, I'm with you in the corner with the pitcher of beer. Love a good IPA...<br />Thanks again you guys!
