I’m in the process of trying to organize the final third (maybe) of my
story into a coherent and cohesive narrative. I’m usually a “pantser,” but I’ve
reached the point where I need to become a “plotter,” and make an outline of
what has to happen to wrap the story up. I’ve still got a long way to go to
make this rough draft a complete story with all the characters I’ve developed.
I’ve come up with a list of things I need to do in order to make it happen.
Will it be helpful to me or to anybody in the process of writing a mystery? I
don’t know, but I’ll keep you updated!
1.
Will the idea hold up?
2.
Review the pertinent chapters
3.
Go over the clues
4.
Follow the trail
5.
Discovery – who knows what, and who needs to
know everything.
6.
Confrontation
7.
Resolution
8.
Conclusion of the story
