For Writers: What I Use to Plot a Novel
The Writing Resources page of my website has been updated with more links to articles and resources that I’ve found helpful or interesting over the past few years.
Two of the additions under the heading “Plotting Methods” are the ones I now use for each book:
- Classic Story Structure by Mark Canter
- How to Set Up and Deliver the Suspense Black Moment by Susan Warren.
Together these articles provide a reminder list of what to include when I’m first laying out the overall plan of a project and help me keep the story focused and powerful, as well as personal to the characters.
I hope these resources are helpful to other writers as well. Best of luck with your storytelling!

I may have shared this one before, but it’s one of my favorites.
“Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It’s the one and only thing you have to offer.” – Barbara Kingsolver
