I like to live in the moment and enjoy smelling the roses. I try to find the positives in life. Why not? It can lead to a good health outcome as a result. Well, there is some data that supports that notion. Not entirely sold on it, however. But I do personally believe it.  It’s like that song Live in the Moment by Portugal The Man notes:

“Ooh la la la la la
Let’s live in the moment
Come back Sunday morning
A lie, oh well
When you’re gone; Goodbye, so long, farewell

Actually, I am not too sure that those lyrics mean. Why do songwriters have to be so mysterious with their meanings? I suppose I understand a tad bit from my own poetry writing experience. Many times my meaning is only known to myself and I enjoy seeing how others treat my words like a blank canvas and add their own meaning to them. But, speaking of words let me get back to living in the moment. I like it. I enjoy it.

But I understand that we also need to anticipate future needs, desires and expectations. And, I am struck by how so many people do not do so.  Many will justify their lack of future preparedness by noting that they believe in living in the moment but that is just not an excuse. You have to anticipate being hungry at night and have a somewhat stocked fridge. Well, of course, if you live in New York City you can always run out and find something open.   But you get my point.

I came across this quote, and book title by Bestselling author Harvey Mackay,  “Dig a well before you are thirsty” and was struck by how true and real it was. If you love hiking and the immediacy of it, you still anticipate being thirsty and bring a canteen, water bottle or, if you are like me, a soda.   You are not likely to assume that someone else will supply you with water to quench your thirst or that there will be drinking stations along the way.

I did see an episode recently of the soon-to-be-cancelled Life Sentence wherein a main character was going hiking and completely didn’t anticipate needing water. He was completely a live-in-the-moment guy who was trying to impress a girl. He was also a guy who was basically treading water in life who had put much of his life on hold or rather hadn’t moved forward very far in life. I am not too sure that is completely adaptive.

The book by Harvey Mackay was about networking in the business world. But, the principle holds true for life overall. It does amaze me how people often do not think through the consequences of their actions or inactions. So, let’s do Carpe Diem and dig wells. That would be a full, maximized life.

If everyone who reads our articles and like it , help to fund it. Our future would be much more secure if you donate us as little as $1 – an it only takes a minute…THANK YOU

Fiction Plots – Discovering Inspiration For Your Next Fiction Book Series

On By marketingscoopsIn Book Marketing, Literature/BooksLeave a comment

A well-written plot will provide enough information to spark your creativity, without giving so much detail that you will feel stuck in someone else’s story construct. A strong plot will:

  • Define the characters;
  • Explain the conflict that your main character will want to overcome. This will drive your story;
  • Map the turning points in your story, leading the character to resolving the conflict of the story;
  • Demonstrate how the main character changes on the journey to the conflict resolution;
  • Hint at the setting that supports the story;
  • Describe how the conflict was resolved at the end of the story…

We have hired the best fiction plot writers money can buy to ensure that we are able to provide you access to fiction plots you can use to create fiction novels that sell…

But, rather than asking our writers to create stand-alone stories, we have advised our plot writers to create a series of ten (10) book plots that you can use to create an outstanding story that you can develop into a compelling book series.

Each fiction plot series is created in the following format:

  • OVERVIEW: This is the essence of your story and sums up what it is about in two sentences or less.
  • SHORT SUMMARY: This section describes in greater detail the basic storyline.
  • CHARACTER LIST: A list of the main characters (protagonist, antagonist, etc.).
  • CORE CONFLICTS: The core conflicts your characters face.
  • STAKES: What your characters stand to lose, and what is at stake for them.
  • 10 CHAPTER OUTLINE: A step-by-step breakdown of each chapter with a short summary detailing what each chapter includes.

We currently have several plot authors and a webmaster on our payroll. All are people with extensive experience writing fiction.

We have advised our writers to create sets of 3, 5, 7 or 10 plots in the following categories: romance, historical, science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, and mystery.

As each plot author finishes his/her work, we upload those new plot series to the membership area of the website.

Since our monthly membership plan sells for a lot less than what most people pay for a single set of plots, you will be getting loads of extra value from our program.

Three years after launching this program (November 2014 launch), we so far have:

  • 301 full-length plots (2500-3500 words each)
  • Most plots are in series plot sets
  • Bonus Story Ideas
    • 12 Mystery Outlines (Separate from what is included in the regular plots section)
    • 272 Two-Sentence Story Starters

The primary challenge for us has been first to find competent writers. The second challenge has been to find writers who are comfortable creating plots outside their chosen genres.
