CAN'T SEEM TO GET THERE FROM HERE

Vesper
http://chickwithaquill.blogspot.com/2016/06/a-map-of-way-forward.html
has written a timely and important post on her blog.

Sometimes we get lost in the meandering paragraphs of our novels.
Which way to go?

Vesper has struggled with how to find her way through the fog of the wisps of plot in her head she sees for her story.

Multiple POV's seem called for, 

but they almost always confuse or throw off the identification the reader has with one character.

She felt she needed a firm outline , but how to go about writing a good one?

Vesper happily stumbled upon Larry Brooks’s Story Fix.

Blake Synder's SAVE THE CAT, though talking about movie scripts, is another great aid.

I wrote a post on a Three Stage Blueprint for a good story outline:

If you are of a mind, take a peek at it.  It might help a bit.

Of course, that doesn't mean that I am not having to swim against the currents with my latest Steampunk, 
THE NOT-SO-INNOCENTS AT LARGE.

How to make a Texas Ranger taking on the Sidhe in 1836 Avalon 

and fighting dragons atop the flying Xanadu seem riveting and real has proven to be a real challenge.

I hope your Strawberry Moon went well and your WIP progresses smoothly.
