How to Prevent Predictible Plots

Read this article on writer's digest. Since I've been talking about plots it seemed relevant.
I think we all hate being able to predict a story as we turn the page or reach the ending, but it is even more frustrating to predict the entire plotline.
"Hey, haven't I read this somewhere before?"
So, as we write (or read) ask yourself, is this somehow "too familiar" or is it uniquely and creatively yours?

How many Plots are there?

I wrote a post about the Seven Basic Plots...take a look.

My Musings

I think that I am not the only one just starting out in trying to become a published author. Sure, there are hundreds of ways for anyone to post and publish their words on the internet. I think the difference being that I want to tell stories that engage and entertain my readers and to do so in a format that is somewhat credible.

Whether that means publishing the traditional way or becoming one of the growing number of Indie authors out there, the journey is much the same. So, I thought it would be helpful to record some of the events, hurdles, and compromises that I've made. Hopefully, some of you will find it helpful and maybe even give you a chance to add some of your experiences as well.

I will try to keep this updated as often as I can.
