Come one, come all — going to the one who amuses me most with his/her description of the need for this book, the Writers’ Digest "Twenty Master Plots and how to build them."
You have a week or till someone strikes my funny bone.
I have about twenty books on plot and most of them repeat themselves. Partly because when I first got published I couldn’t find a plot with two hands, a cane and a seeing eye dog!
Okay — leans back — amuse me.
According To Hoyt 
Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?
I think so brain, but how’re we supposed to plot a course through a wormhole into plaid space without a decent star map?

Master plots
Humf! Here I thought you were talking about how to be “Masters of the Multiverse” not book plots. [Wink]

Re: Master plots
Um… I don’t have any books about that. Which is why I’m still writing them… ;)

There are plots on becoming Masters? How unequal is that?? I want a book about plots on becoming Mistresses – preferably including the use of whips, chains, black leather, and stuffed animals. :-D There is a plot in there somewhere…hmmm, probably need instruction how to find that as well. :-o

I’m too tired to be amusing. But I did get a start today on my JA Halloween story. Think Anne Elliot as an Angel of Death. Or an Angel of Mercy, depending on your viewpoint.

…do you think we could squeeze wet celery and the misuse of kitchen implements into the mistresses plot? One of our sponsors is ‘Kitchens Etc’…

If anyone needs a book on plot, it’s me. The best I can come up with on my own is a rehash of the monomyth story arc, or something along the lines of an erotic techno-thriller about an emo boy living among inner-city toughs in the wild urban jungle of Manhattan’s lower west side, and the drama that unfolds in his life as the bondage pictures he took get uploaded onto the web by the Robin Hood-hat-wearing second cousin once removed of the Star Wars kid, and the juvenile cannibal hermaphrodite stalker who follows him around to discuss its interesting taste in women–all leading up to a climactic showdown between the emo boy, his metrosexual upstairs neighbor, and a box of genetically-altered radioactive weasels.

Stealing the Plot
“Masters of the Multiverse?” Got it covered. It also got a bit long, so I stuck it on my page.

Mothrababe has it on the celery. I have no idea what I’ve done with your address, hon. Send again.
witteafval you just sole that from one of my books, which isn’t fair! (I’m joking, I’m joking. Okay, mostly.) However if you’re interested, you may have Plots Unlimited, if you send me your address.
And for the winner of previous contest, I got eaten by travel and haven’t mailed yet. Will on Monday, though. :) Be not afraid.
