I get fed up with plots that are driven by someone constantly getting information on a computer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I hate plots.
Sometimes, by using the most over-the-top, ridiculous plot device you can imagine, you get some interesting little conflicts and cool things that you might not otherwise have a chance to explore.
Probably careful plotting reflects my personality. I am meticulous by nature. I can't imagine speed-writing anything that happens to pop into my head.
My books are primarily plot driven but the best plot in the world is useless if you don't populate them with characters that readers can care about.
It's amazing how far you can get into a plot before you figure out what you're doing.
People have really long attention spans, and they love complicated plots. TV series are giving the audience what they want.
Personally, I find visualisations great for helping me understand the world and for sifting the huge amounts of information that deluge me every day.
People talk about the plots and what happened, and they see your tricks a mile away.
I don't really write plots. I use history as the engine that drives everything.
I am a kind of paranoid in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.
