You can get Writing Basics from my site at: http://liamet.tripod.com If you are a new writer or new with internet as a means of getting published online, you should read it. In Writing Basics I wrote down my own experiences on writing , but there are also other writers’ articles included ,as well as interviews that will help you in your writing career.

The odd thing is that a few years ago I did not even know how to operate a computer, and now I am creating e books! Isn’t it amazing? And know what? Publishers want books about writing , and articles about writing are always very popular. So, why not give it a try yourself?

And all this happens when we haven’t figured everything out first.

Your plot is foundation of your story. It’s skeleton, which will hold your story together. Your plot is there to work everything out first – to see if it can be worked out, and then flesh out that skeleton with other elements that make a story.

Plotting is difference between writing a story for yourself and writing one for an audience. Writing for ourselves doesn’t require too much strain because we only have ourselves to please. It’s when we have to please our readers that hard work begins.

If you are aiming to sell your stories, plotting is a must.

Have you plotted your story before writing it?
