I had a very nice 45th birthday despite being several states away from home this week.

I hope this weekday finds you well, and thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes!

So #WritingCommunity how do we feel about structure?

Do you use the 3 act structure? The 5 act?

Hero's Journey? Save the Cat? Super Structure Method? Story Genius Method?

Something else?

What have you got?

What about outlining just a chapter when you got to it?

Whenever I'm stuck, I do it. I wonder if anyone else does

Plantser here.

I find it weird trying to write without a plan, but my God does my writing go off the rails when I haven't planned ahead clearly enough

It's probably too late since the client cancelled the contract, but I made my case anyway. I feel better having shared my reasoning behind the things they cited for my firing.

It's never too late to advocate for yourself.

Milo is the youngest of many, and his closest sister is in book one with him. Their oldest brother comes in for book five as a very bad man.

I should get back to writing about them all.

I think whats gonna be the only diff between then and now is that *then* the dot com bubble bursting took out folks connected to it but this time the AI bubble bursting is gonna take out darn near everything all b/c ppl are putting their fingers in their ears and going lalalala all for a quick hit.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.
