You know, that hard little word everyone calls... plot? Just as the topic asks, how do you develop your stories? Are there any techniques you would like share with struggling writers (like me)? How do these methods work best for you?
A fellow writer and author suggested to me on trying a writing binder. I put one together using what I had, and I do plan on improving it when I have the chance. Anyway, I feel this might work best for me than constantly trying to rely on my iPad all of the time as well. What I'm about to do is provide you with various pictures (spoilered of course) of this binder. I also suggest giving this a try if you don't have a tablet like me! :3
Keep in mind that my binder is somewhat makeshift. I had to use things I had, and that isn't a whole lot considering we have no money at the current moment. XC
I plan on changing the front part of this to represent Natasha Begingfield's song "Unwritten". Mostly considering this song inspires me as a writer.
The notebook is to provide extra paper. Just in case I run out of loose leaf paper. I don't really have a whole lot. XC
Ideas & characters - For the time being, this is going to be for both character files and ideas. When I get more tabs, I'll be able to separate the two instead.
Personal Inventory & Log - This is basically for random stuff that falls under 'personal'. Things like my contact info for making friends offline, recipes I find and whatever else is considered personal.
Journal - I write a lot of personal thoughts in this. It's actually about things I don't feel comfortable admitting online or think fits in my blog.
These are sheet protectors I'm using as title pages. It'll help organize my ideas for each stor I'm writing.
This is for research & notes. Not much to really say since it's explains itself. XD
This is for all my story soundtracks. Basically, I come up with music that relates to the story and/or characters.
This one is for inspirations. You know, things that inspires me and all that. I'm still working on this at the moment.
I plan on adding a lot more to this. I have some general ideas to try for tabs. One thing I want to do is separate "ideas & characters". I plan on creating a new tab called "Character files" for all my character ideas and such. I also want to have a tab for writer's block as well. Anyway, I'll stop rambling now. XD
What about you guys? Anything special you do to organize and develop your stories?
