Excitement in the air, how was he going to present himself. Walking into the CNYRW mini con opening informal discussion was exciting, Book everywhere and Mr. Mayer waiting patiently. After reading his books, images will form of a military strick man. However, last night he was human, funny and carsmatic. His speak was on The Orginial Idea and Conflict Box, without these you really don't have a story. Consepts I had read and heard before, but never truly understood what exactly they meant until he exampled them. The Orginial Idea is one sentence the main reason why you are writing this novel. It's not the life story, but it's the spark of the reason. It's what made you get your fingers running on the keyboard. But as a writer it is so hard to get it done to one sentence, because you have to weed through all the layers you have applied to the novel to get the idea of it.The Confilict Box it shows the Anatgonist and Protagonist goals and conflict and when you cross them, there should be conflict. You can do this for each scene, but you must have one for the story, if there is no conflict you have no story.
Now it's time to get ready for today. Lots to learn. Can't wait.
