Hi Max, I need a bit of help. I have this character, and all he wants is to have an easy life - I've tried putting him into several different plot situations in my novel attempts, and none of them are right, because he's not interested. However, I need a

Hello there, writerly friend~ ♥︎

I think that a lot of people do plotting and they go about it the wrong way. If you have taken a look at my (Strange) Guide To Planning Your Novel then you probably have a feeling for what I am about to talk about, if not— then prepare yourself.
