Who are your favorite fictional characters? Have you ever wondered what went into *creating* them?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today at Vocabbett, we're diving into the “character” component of our writing mini-series (and we're continuing to draw on the creative process of Barbara Mertz a.k.a. Elizabeth Peters for inspiration)!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you liked the #VickyBliss books, you'll LOVE this post. I share some hilarious notes she made on the various characters, as well as some background on "Sir" John Smythe! 👇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Today's episode of the Vocabbett #podcast is all about plotting vs. pantsing!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not familiar with the terms? Here's the gist: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Plotters plot out their novels in advance⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Pantsers figure it out as they go, writing by "the seat of their pants"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I'm a firm believer in planning out essays, I'm not yet experienced enough with novel-writing to have strong opinions on the subject there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, I AM doing my best to plot book two, since pantsing my way through book 1 led to a LOT of rewrites!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you ever loved a book so much that when you finished it, you just sat in stunned silence for a moment?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"How did the author get these ideas?" you ask. Maybe you turn to Google and find some witty response from the author, or nothing at all.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For aspiring writers, this can be maddening! If each book is an invention, ideas are the schematics and blueprints. I want to know how you built this!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today at Vocabbett, we're diving into the “behind the scenes” of how authors get their ideas, drawing on the work of bestselling author Barbara Mertz, who is perhaps better known by her pen name “Elizabeth Peters”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was able to do original research on Barbara Mertz's creative process for my Master's degree at #SMU, going through countless boxes of her notes, outlines, and manuscripts just after they were donated by her estate. Most hadn't even been archived by the librarians yet! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I learned was invaluable for anyone who wants to write a book. It was like being a fly on the wall as a new product is being invented, and getting to take notes at the same time! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, how are bestselling ideas born? Head over to Vocabbett to find out! 👉 https://vocabbett.com/bestselling-ideas/⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
See you there!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Always wanted to write a book? Let's do it together!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be starting the sequel to Ahead of Her Time, and I'm going to be sharing my exact, step-by-step process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I realize I couldn't be doing this at a worse time. It is, after all, back-to-school season, and the world couldn't be more busy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's the beauty of the internet though, isn't it? You can write with me in real time, or come back to this series when inspiration strikes!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
