I was at the York Writers meeting last Wednesday (I’m currently updating the website so I’ll post a link when it’s done) where we had a guest reading his poetry – Oz Hardwick. The evening was most enjoyable and Oz’s reading really gave a lot of life to his poems.
Afterwards I was approached by one of the committee members, a chap called Glyn, who asked if I’d be interested in giving a talk on plotting, which caught me a little by surprise. But as we talked about it briefly I guess that much of what I do is based around plotting. Without good plotting the kind of games I develop would have lots of holes in them and would probably have lots of dead ends and gameplay flaws.
So at the moment I’m thinking about how to approach the talk and I’m not sure when it will fit into the group’s schedule, but I’ll post more about it as plans firm up and give more details in case there are some who may wish to attend, if they’re in the area.
