Thank you Lacey. [ looks down at trousers and pings waistband] As for for the office? If I did not wrestle it into some sort of submission I would flounder. Seriously. There are probably 4 books at various stages on the go at any one time and I am lucky enough to have storage so that I can keep the other 3 books off the desk in the vain attempt to help me focus [ cue hysterical laughter…]

38? Help no Lacey. I am not that much of a plotter. I focus on the emotional character arc of the hero and heroine and then the main turning points of the story which will demonstrate how these two people change because of their journey. So I am probably talking about 9 or 10 key points on the love story and the chapters and scenes drop out from those. Hope that helps – don’t worry too much about the second level of detail. Once I have my characters they often decide that my carefully worked out plot is pants and do their own thing anyhow. Nina x

How many scenes on average do you have when you outline? 38? I’m trying to become an organised plotter (I think it might kill me, I really do.)
