CHAOS THEORY...oh, not the sort that physics professors or teachers toss your way, but how we can use Chaos as a guideline in plotting a bit of fiction.
Any bit of fiction.
Just because it's called "chaos" doesn't mean it deals with action-adventure, end-of-the-world (as we know it), terrorism, murder, or even alien invasion (from elsewhere on the planet or from off planet).
Chaos reigns in any household with children of different ages in different sports or organizations or taking lessons on the side in anything and mixing it with one or both parents work schedules, babysitting needs, and...well, it's chaos, isn't it?
Chaos is a benefit for a writer as they begin to plot...or for one who has turned a corner in their storyline and suddenly hit solid brick (ye olde writer's block wall) and needs to...well, blow it up!
As your guide for our voyage, I will confess that chaos is my system of management. The universe isn't all that organized, even if it does have rules to follow, and while I follow the rules of grammar and common sense, it frequently doesn't look organized until I've completed something. You know, like a manuscript!
This doesn't mean you can't have better control of all the strings that lead to your storyline, but it does mean that among those strings there should be numerous chaotic events. Things to shake up the storyline, or your characters, or even better – both!
This is the 15th title in the Fiction Writing Aids - Workshop in Book Form series.
