Your Inspired Plot<\/p>\n

In Step 8 you made a list of all the new material you\u2019ve created that you\u2019d like to include in your novel to fill holes and fix inconsistencies.\u00a0 In this step, you\u2019ll weave those concepts into your existing synopsis to fashion an all-inclusive and enriched version.<\/p>\n

The first thing to do is re-read your synopsis from Step 5 to re-familiarize yourself with your novel as you originally saw it.\u00a0 Then, look over your list of the new story elements to be added to the mix.<\/p>\n

Begin with the notion you\u2019d most enjoy seeing in your story and, scanning your synopsis from top to bottom, locate the best place or places to insert it so that it will seamlessly integrate into your existing material.\u00a0 When you know where it is going to show up, re-write just that section (or sections) of your synopsis to include it.<\/p>\n

After each inclusion of new material, scan over the rest of your synopsis to see if the changes conflict with any other sections.\u00a0 If so, make any additional alterations required to resolve those conflicts.<\/p>\n

Repeat this process for all the concepts you wish to weave into your evolving story.\u00a0 Some new material may slip right in.\u00a0 Other times you may have to scratch your head a bit to see how you can wedge it in there.\u00a0 At times, you may have to reword a section you\u2019ve already rewritten to add another concept or two in the same place.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t spend too much time on your exact wording.\u00a0 This isn\u2019t the time to be literary.\u00a0 That will happen in the next step when we wrap up the Inspiration: Plot section so we can move into Inspiration: Characters.<\/p>\n

If there are some things you just can\u2019t find a home for, fret not, for that just indicates they probably don\u2019t belong in the same story with all the others.<\/p>\n

When you have woven in as many of your new ideas as you can (again, within reason, without head-busting, face palms or the gnashing of teeth) move on to Step 10 so we can wrap up inspiration for your plot and get on with your characters!<\/p>\n
