Using Ellipsus to Prep For Your Novel (Writerly Whispers No. 5)
This is not sponsored! I found out about Ellipsus and thought I would give it a go. In the time since I've filmed this, they've come out with a paid plan, Ellipsus Plus. I haven't tried it. But there's still a free plan. In this video, you get to see me play with the free version and decide how I’ll end up using it going forward (or not). Since filming this, they have enabled the ability to rearrange long documents via the outline, so if Chapter 5 needs to become Chapter 3, it’s an easy move. My writing style is yet still more chaotic than that, so it won’t work for me. The journal I show towards the beginning is a freebie project by @inkandpagejournals In this episode, we do some more plotting, brainstorming, and take a side trip to refill the creative well (and the bag that I "found" in the box in my attic) by visiting some really cool antique shops.
