I already know what happens after this second book, since it manifested to me in a layered dream and I wrote it all down.
The third fairytale will have music themed story, with redemption, selfishness, finding oneself, and whether one should follow the footsteps of one's parent out of obligation or find something else to find joy in. Also longing for something unknown, and how people react to fundamental rejection.
Etc. Etc. Cool words. :P

https://medium.com/the-story-well/the-hidden-emotional-pattern-behind-every-plot-f04d224d4eff
Every plot runs on an emotional pattern that sits underneath the events on the page. You can change the setting, the pace, the structure, or the cast, but the emotional pattern stays the same.

@tpfto what a great concise paper! I first encountered figures like these under the name “mystery curve”in a post by @walkingrandomly (Mike Croucher):
https://walkingrandomly.com/?p=5677
It inspired me to write my own example with my interactive JavaScript library:
https://paulmasson.github.io/mathcell/docs/examples/mystery-curve.html
Should probably do an update to include amplitudes as part of the input. And for people without access to paywalled gardens here’s an open link:

Fairytale now has officially a proper plot. I did its chapter plan, and it will act as the "first draft" due to how much detail I always shove in. :P

You can read the latest on the garden over on Gratitude and Growth. There’s actually something to write this week.
After breakfast, I did a bunch of admin, then got the laundry folded and put away, and put aside the pieces that need ironing and those that need mending. I slogged through a bunch of email. A few days ago, I got a request for a script submission, and I’ve been rolling around what to submit. I picked the play (THE WOMEN ON THE BRIDGE) and sent it off. If I WILL BE DIFFERENT is ready by August, I can submit that, too (I can submit two scripts this year, per their request/instructions).
I pondered what to work on for END OF PLAY starting June 1. Some characters are starting to talk, but I’m not sure in which world they fit.
Part of me wants to finally work on the play inspired by the time Kit Cornell’s company took the train from Buffalo to Seattle on tour, got stuck in a snow storm, were late, the audience waited, so actors took turns on stage telling stories while the crew built the set around them, and they did the play, ending around 3 AM. But I don’t feel settled enough in the research, and I can’t re-read the books between now and the 1st. I should put those research books in a project bin so they are handy. I tracked down several memoirs by members of the company. It’s not ready to write yet, though, and I don’t want to push it when it’s not the right time.
Some projects one can leap into and sort it out on the way. Others, like this one and the May Morris play, require lots of specific research so the world of the play is reflexive and one doesn’t have to look up the details as one goes, because those details affect everything in the scene. I have to be comfortable in the world while writing the scene, not layer the details in later on.
Managed to get some work done on BETTING MAN. Not enough, but some. Decided to make another change in the overall arc, which will affect this book and future books. I’m hoping that will lift the obstacles I’ve been feeling as I work on it these past weeks, that I was on the wrong track with it, and now I’ve course corrected.
Switched over to the ghostwriting. Didn’t get as much done on a word count level as I hoped, but I’m happy with the quality. I will have to make up for it today and tomorrow, which will be a challenge, because today is packed.
The literary committee meeting went well. It’s always such a pleasure to have these monthly meetings and get into deep topics around the plays involved.
Word X Word confirmed I’m one of the poets in the exquisite corpse poem. We’re performing it July 26 at the Mount. It’s one of my favorite participations of the year. This will be my 5th year with them.
Cooked dinner, read a bit at night. I’ve read Elizabeth McCracken’s BOWLAWAY these past few days, which is a unique book stylistically and story-wise. It’s literary fiction that mixes whimsy, pathos, and history in it.
Slept well, which surprised me as much as anyone, up a little early this morning because Tessa and Charlotte were fussing. Morning routine was good, and I figured out a bunch of stuff in the new BETTING MAN direction in the morning free write.
As far as I know, the online meditation group meets this morning, then I head out on errands, try to get some work done on BETTING MAN, join the Freelance Friends chat, work on the ghostwriting. I’ve been invited to two different things tonight. Whether I can go to either of them largely depends on how much work I can get done around all the meetings.
I’m going to try to get a little bit done now, before meditation group.
Have a good one!

When you have super vivid dream with full plot attached to it and proceed to write plot for 2 books you probably never write because you don't have the time. The ideas had to come out though since I already "lived" them though...
That psycho hand puppet would've made great 2 book series though. Funny too (in my opinion).
My idea graveyard just keeps growing....

Astro Catalog
by Sylvain Villet
https://github.com/sylvainvillet
https://app.astrobin.com/u/SylvainV
https://app.astrobin.com/forum/topic/191541This project generates a mosaic of Messier or Caldwell objects, using images from a local folder.
The script arranges the objects into a configurable grid, supports larger slots for extended targets (e.g. Andromeda), and overlays labels and a title.Perfect for creating a large-format print.
Features:
+ Loads Messier or Caldwell object images from a folder (M31.jpg, M-31.png, M_31.tif, etc.)
+ Places objects on a grid with configurable layout
+ Supports multi-cell slots for large objects (e.g. M31, M42, M45)
+ Supports grouping multiple objects in one slot for objects close to each other (e.g. M42 and M43, M31 and M32)
+ Adds a title and progress counter if it's not completed yet
+ Draws labels on images and placeholders for missing ones
+ Adjustable size of the final image
+ Saves as JPEG, PNG or TIFFhttps://github.com/sylvainvillet/astro-catalog#features

I did some plotting for the WriteYourOwnFairytale anthology (not the real name of the book) I will be part of this September. The story is based on roll of Story Die and I got these prompts work with:
Monster, Girl in a Cloak, and Tower.
I will follow traditional fairytale formats so something will be learned, there will be magic, but I will add there a twist or two to keep it interesting. (:

Start with a single question. What’s the private rule this character lives by? “Don’t disappoint anyone,” “Stay in control,” or “Never show weakness.” Look for the moments that challenge it. Those moments create tension, conflict. and change.

Is Single or Multiple Viewpoints Best for Your Story?
Deciding how many characters should tell your story is an important decision. Whether you’re writing young adult fiction, fantasy, romance, or any genre, this choice will determine the overall tone of the story and how deeply readers connect with the characters. So do you just need one perspective, or should multiple narrators be involved? Here...

https://medium.com/the-writers-reach/goal-obstacle-outcome-cards-bb85046ba649
Goal–Obstacle–Outcome cards capture the core of the moment so you don’t write scenes that drift or stall.
This works for any genre, whether you outline or discovery write. It works whether you’re drafting or revising.
