A Creative Notebook for Non-Plottery Writerly Folks

by Laura Frances

There are as many kinds of writers as there are novels to be discovered. Among the masses of writerly types is a group of instinctive creators called pantsers (i.e. writing by the seat of your pants). This workbooks is for you, especially if you're just starting out on your storytelling journey.
Less a pre-writing outlining journal, this notebook serves as a place to jot down your creative thoughts as they come. Because let's face it, we pantsers do run the risk of forgetting our brilliant story ideas without a meticulously organized document to refer back to.
Slap this baby down on your table/desk/couch/bed when it's time to write.
Slide it beside your laptop in your bag.
Roll it up and shove it in your backpack.
Do what you must, but please tell us your stories!

About the author

Though she grew up in the "Queen City of the Ozarks", Laura always yearns for the craggy rocks and gull cries around lobster boats off the coast of Maine. Her earliest childhood memories are painted in Red Sox blue and red and the briny fragrance of the sea. Fast forward into adulthood, Laura spent four years with her family immersed in Japan's rich culture, absorbing an entirely new scope for her imagination.

In all the changes and experiences, stories have been the mainstay. Inspired by the sweeping grasslands of Rohan to the sparkling waters at Cair Paravel, Laura writes from a place of deep love for the power and impact of a well told tale.
