Plotting 'The Sculthorpe Murder'
A long time ago I uploaded a wonderful and highly-recommended computer program called Scriverner. This is supposed to be an excellent device which helps novelists plan and structure their work.
Guess what? I've never used it. (Hides head in shame.) Yet again with this new novel I have reverted to type. Well, no. Not TYPE exactly. More like scribble and post-it notes on a cork noticeboard.
Still, it works for me. I'm 11,000 words into 'The Sculthorpe Murder' and going strong. And there is something immensely gratifying about ripping down each post-it note, crumpling it it into a ball and tossing it into the waste bin after each scene is written.
