5 Visualisation Techniques To Help You Draft A Book

‘American writer, Mark Jenkins (The Hard Way: Stories of Danger, Survival and the Soul of Adventure) says: “Maps are essential. Planning a journey without a map is like building a house without drawings.”

Writing is like a journey. Whether it’s for academic purposes, business reasons or for writing your bestseller, you need a map – otherwise you could end with something you may not have wanted when you started. Visualising that end, in the form of a draft map, can mean the difference between a good piece of writing and one that’s not so good!

Here are five visualisation techniques that not only make your draft look better, but will also help your audience receive your “message” as you intended to deliver it.’

Day 11 of #grimdragon : Favourite publisher
*
I don’t really have a favourite publisher. But I really love the RSC editions of Shakespeare (published by Macmillan I believe). They give a little less theoretical background than some other editions but there’s a part about the play on stage in every book, and an interview with directors of different productions. I’ve always thought that Shakespeare is a lot more fun if seen on stage so I find it really neat to read about that aspect instead of endless interpretations 😅

Day 11 of #maddiewalimay - most read genre
*
Thanks to @maryl_1991 for the #bookspiral tag!
*
Going by the books on my shelves it’s definitely fantasy so here’s a book spiral with two of my favourite fantasy series 😊
I’m gonna spend the afternoon at my brother’s new flat with nothing to do but wait for a technician so I’m hoping to get a lot of reading done today which is great since I haven’t really managed anything for the past few days 😅 also means I can distract myself from the fact that the Oilers lost their last playoff game last night.
What’s your most read genre?

Day 10 of #grimdragon: Nightmare Fuel
*
I’m a wuss so I stay away from books that seem like they might give me nightmares. But I really liked Pet Sematary.
I also just published my review of A Gathering of Shadows on my blog, the link is in my bio if you want to check it out! 😊

What if women had minstrel cycles instead of menstrual cycles? You’d just have a guy with a lute follow you around for a week every month and play you songs constantly?

My boyfriend (via thecarrionlibrarian)

#no but can you imagine if that was how you learned once a month you weren’t pregnant#by some dude singing songs about the victory of it#you wake up and he’s there and you are so happy#this dude becomes your favorite dude#but then you realize you haven’t seen your friend’s minstrel in a while#I mean everyone notices#like half the people are on the same cycle so for one week out of four your job is just flooded with fucking minstrels everywhere#the cacophony#but Mary over there is all alone#and she’s like my minstrel is late#but we all fucking know#her minstrel has gone off to find her a baby#a nine month journey he must make alone#and until he comes back there is no music in her life#what a glorious world this would be#I love the minstrels (@onionjuggler)

mediocreyoungone-deactivated201 asked:

Someone important to me believes that something I wrote is based off of them and it as been hurting our relationship, how do I get them to know that it's not them?

I don’t know. I don’t think it’s possible to persuade people that you didn’t write about them. There is one long-ago short story of mine in which every former girlfriend of mine saw herself reflected, and each of them made a point of telling me that she had read it (I think they were flattered) and obviously the person in it was her, and I realised that nothing I could ever say about the story would change anybody’s mind. 

That’s because it’s almost impossible to explain to anybody who hasn’t done it that the way we make fiction is a sort of composting process in which things we see and feel and experience and think and imagine are put into our minds and then rot down into a black compost, in which new things grow. Or for that matter that you can steal the way that one person plays with their hair and the way another person sighs and always turns up late and grow a third person who isn’t either of them out of it.

So you can tell them it’s not them in your fiction. But they will still believe what they will. Perhaps instead you should just work on the relationship, and if they are worried about issues of privacy (or whatever) being compromised by what you write, tell them you must have done it without realising, and will do your best to make sure they aren’t in any more stories of yours, even unwittingly. 

I hope this helps. (You will probably find a lot more wisdom than this in the comments or the reblogs.)
