Today I am plotting a novel.

I mean that I am breaking down the story into chunks that make sense, which is all that plotting really is.

A-B, B-C, C-D and by the time we get to Z we have a murderer. Ta Dah!
Of course on other days plotting a novel means sitting behind a huge cup of coffee and thinking,
“I’ll write a novel”.

One of these approaches gets the job done. I recommend the de-caffeinated.
