An erotica writer, Morgan Hawke, blogged March 30, 2005 about GMC simplified. darkerotica.blogspot.com It was a very good blog. I thought I told you about it? Ok, brain shutting down, February, March and pretty much everthing up until September is a damn blur. TSTL = To Stupid To Live sometimes referring to the heroine. I had to ask about the TSTL one last week. Keeps me laughing. What's up with your computer again? Time to invest in a cheap laptop and use it ONLY FOR WRITING!! GMC = Goals Motivation and Conflict.

It's important we share what we've learned as so many of us are struggling in this industry and that's what I'm trying to do in this blog. Writing is a logical process filled with emotion. Almost seems contradictory. There may not be a blog today because my computer is screwed which is why I wasn't on any of your blogs or emails yesterday. I'm at a friend's trying to get at least this blog answered. Now I need your help. What is GMC and TSTL? Haven't a clue here! Never fear, Jenna. after the first of the year we're back to grammar and yes, Sherrill and Yasmine, the COMMA. HA!! I'll also do a blog on what to do with all the extra backstory, Yasmine, like you requested the other day. Forrest, we sweet Vixens will have you up and able, no pun intended, before you know it. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas! Glad you all appreciate my meager efforts.

You are cracking me up. You've got such talent. Get some chocolate woman!! Great analysis Sloane. Sometimes my minor characters try to take over the story like they're really important and I have to tell them to write their own story. Oh, that would be me doing the writing.

I'm wrestling with my story because I DON'T have backstory, characterization, plot, precis, summary, theme, GMC (or whatever that is), or anything other than an idea of what the story's gonna be about. This is the loosest cannon I've ever had on deck. So I've got plenty of work to do to make it good. So? I've got plenty of time. Now to just do it. Thanks, Sloane!

Let's get back to the grammar. I could bug you with grammar. Good motivation can save a bad plot but bad motivation can't save a good plot. 'nuf said. Again…I got nothin’.

It's so easy to have the characters in your head and just sit down and start writing. There's no way you can convey believable motivation if you don't understand why your characters do the things they do. Of course, one can always try... :) This is great stuff, Sloane.
