2013: Your Year to Write a Story with a Plot

January 1, 2013 By Martha Alderson

In honor of my new book, The Plot Whisperer Book of Writing Prompts: Easy Exercises to Get You Writing, I invite you to join me in writing a new story, one prompt at a time.

Today is all about beginnings.

“Beginnings form the foundations upon which everything else rests. Beginnings, through fragile, emody great heart and great hope.”

Beginnings can also be scary, especially when you step out without much of a pre-plot plan about what you’re writing.

Tips for both PlotWriMo writers turned rewriters and PWPrompt writers how to write first scene of your novel, memoir, screenplay, watch: Plot Tip: First Sentence / Paragraph of a Story

If you’re following along and wish to comment or ask questions, please use Twitter and be sure to include @plotwhisperer and #pwprompt to catch my attention.

The Plot Whisperer Book of Writing Prompts: Easy Exercises to Get You Writinggives you the inspiration and motivation you need to finish every one of your writing projects. This book guides you through each stage of the writing process, from constructing compelling characters to establishing an unforgettable ending. The book also helps you get into the habit of writing creatively every day, with brand-new imaginative prompts for how to write a novel, memoir, screenplay with a plot. 

Join me here everyday as together we write our stories from page one and through all the prompts to the very end.
