The Plot Thickens: 13 Questions
The Plot Thickens: 13 Questions to Ask of a Way Too Wimpy Storyline
Coming Soon
I know, I know—it’s lame to put up a page for something that ain’t yet here. But I liked this old handout enough that I am now in the process of blowing it up into a full talk, which will be delivered at the Los Angeles chapter of SCBWI in a few months. After which time, I will post it here. So in the meantime, this placeholder.
The conference ended. I’m eagerly awaiting your 13 questions.
A fan of yours since the 2003? AZ SCBWI Prescott retreat.

Thanks, Charline. Alas, this talk will be delivered in April or so. And I don’t want to preview it for anyone out there in Seattle who might be attending. But I’ll post it afterward!
And I *loved* that Prescott retreat! Great place.

Looking forward to Writer’s Day,

Dear Michael,
I ask you gently, dear agent, will you be posting the 13 questions any time soon? This is assuming you are sitting around bored, on summer vacation with nothing better to do. I so totally don’t want to be annoying, I’m just really curious.
Many thanks.
