nanowrimo_ljOk, so over 50% of the group has stated that they would like the plot helping post once a week, while the rest wanted it daily, or have no idea what a plot is supposed to be.
I'm one of that last group!
Anyway, a few comments caught my attention, and so here's what I figure. I'll do one on Monday for the week, and then another one on Friday for the weekends. That way people who will end up doing most of their writing on weekends because working 9-5 M-F jobs SUCK during NaNo... will not get lost in the Monday posts.
That's going to be the best I can think of. And when I get around to updating the profile this week, all the posts will have the tag "2007: plot help" (just like this one)
Just so you can click on the tag and find the last one.
I will also make sure that I remember to link the TAG in the word count / snipit posts come November. If I forget, PLEASE someone comment with the reminder or link so that people can find it.
Help me help you... and I won't be insane by November 30th.... well... more than I already am.
So here you go! You asked, and I deliver! Got a plot that you need help with? Need a plot? Step up and comment and let the community help.... if you dare.

Date: 2007-10-24 09:13 pm (UTC)Miss Georgette Marronchamp goes to a house party hosted by Lord Jacques Hote, who was her superior during the war. It should be a chance to relax after a love affair ended badly, things begin to go wrong when her step-mother, Lady Angelique Marronchamp, loses a family heirloom while gambling and then Georgette starts seeing visions again. At a Ball, Georgette recognises the pattern of the brocade on the coat of Mr Hervé Rose from her visions and uses the information to prevent the assassination of the Queen. Georgette has information that implicates the Prime Minister, Lord Marin Noir, in the plot. The Queen then asks Georgette to clean up the political mess.
I don't know how Georgette is going to solve the political fall out from the plot, so I no longer have a final resolution. The saving the Queen was originally at the end of the story but my middle was weak. This will be harder to write but should be a stronger story.
What would some of the problems be from the Prime Minister being removed from his post for treason?
