I dont use snow flake. I use the ‘just write’ method. Which is along the lines of put something on the page each day.

Pants…yoink.
Snowflake… handing back.
Ive seen a lit of vids on a five act method, even a seven act method, but i feel a bit like…if im looking for a method to get it going, i must be low on the whole concept. Generally, i pretty much know a lot of what i want on paper before i start. The rest is just perseverance.
Goldies keys to success: persistence and attitude.

It flows out. I don't like the act methods because I usually let it flow instead of acts, acts follow a certain rythm, it's a commitment to structure that I don't like. My books are a journey.
I need a book to be entertaining to me. I don't want to know it's over until it feels done. If that's 3 acts, 5 acts, 7 acts... sounds like a lot even with 5.

She loves you too... probably. Likely.
Aleshe
Troubadour
You think? Yeah, I can see that. Well when I'm rich and famous I'll let her stay in my guest house whenever she likes.

Probably the other way around, but ok. What about me?

oh I'm sure there'll be a pool house or maybe a heated dog house. You like dogs right?

I'd love to live in your heated dog house. Two story right? Studio upstairs?
Aleshe

certainly, nothing is too good for our BearBear. Or maybe a loft in the barn, with cozy hay and wool horse blankets.

I love the smell of hay in the morning, especially after a roll.

as long as the horses don't mind, I'm not going to judge
