+there's nothing wrong
+
+0:00:05.040,0:00:09.200
+with your mobile device or computer just
+
+0:00:08.080,0:00:12.480
+that my world
+
+0:00:09.200,0:00:15.040
+was upside down when my son was born 11
+
+0:00:12.480,0:00:18.320
+years ago
+
+0:00:15.040,0:00:21.039
+hi i'm bala ramazaray author professor
+
+0:00:18.320,0:00:22.160
+and consultant i'm going to tell you my
+
+0:00:21.039,0:00:27.039
+story about
+
+0:00:22.160,0:00:29.920
+how i ended up using emacs for writing
+
+0:00:27.039,0:00:30.640
+11 years ago in bangalore my son was
+
+0:00:29.920,0:00:33.040
+born
+
+0:00:30.640,0:00:34.640
+my wife and i had hardly slept through
+
+0:00:33.040,0:00:37.840
+those days
+
+0:00:34.640,0:00:41.120
+that's when my grandma decided
+
+0:00:37.840,0:00:43.760
+according to such a famous search engine
+
+0:00:41.120,0:00:45.039
+visited us to take a look at her great
+
+0:00:43.760,0:00:47.920
+grandson
+
+0:00:45.039,0:00:48.559
+as joyous as it sounded it came with a
+
+0:00:47.920,0:00:51.840
+peril
+
+0:00:48.559,0:00:54.160
+my grandma is a scrabble addict
+
+0:00:51.840,0:00:55.840
+she hardly spent any time at all with
+
+0:00:54.160,0:00:58.160
+her great grandson
+
+0:00:55.840,0:00:59.359
+but she spent most of her time playing
+
+0:00:58.160,0:01:01.840
+scrabble
+
+0:00:59.359,0:01:02.719
+she insisted that my wife and i joined
+
+0:01:01.840,0:01:04.479
+her
+
+0:01:02.719,0:01:07.040
+that's when an idea dawned on me to
+
+0:01:04.479,0:01:09.600
+write about my scrabble obsessed grandma
+
+0:01:07.040,0:01:10.640
+what if i could make it into a novel not
+
+0:01:09.600,0:01:13.760
+many people have
+
+0:01:10.640,0:01:16.000
+scrabble obsessed grandmothers after all
+
+0:01:13.760,0:01:17.200
+i wanted to expand this to a novel but
+
+0:01:16.000,0:01:20.000
+did not know how
+
+0:01:17.200,0:01:22.560
+i bumped into dan wells's video on seven
+
+0:01:20.000,0:01:25.119
+point story structure which is based on
+
+0:01:22.560,0:01:27.040
+a construct called hero's journey i was
+
+0:01:25.119,0:01:30.400
+now convinced that a seed idea
+
+0:01:27.040,0:01:32.000
+would indeed be converted into a novel
+
+0:01:30.400,0:01:34.479
+i tried out many tools at the time
+
+0:01:32.000,0:01:38.000
+million dollar tools like ms word
+
+0:01:34.479,0:01:38.799
+excel scrivener but none of them really
+
+0:01:38.000,0:01:41.520
+worked
+
+0:01:38.799,0:01:43.840
+so when i remembered about this old
+
+0:01:41.520,0:01:46.159
+editor called emacs
+
+0:01:43.840,0:01:48.000
+thanks to the emacs community and
+
+0:01:46.159,0:01:50.960
+particularly the augment community
+
+0:01:48.000,0:01:52.320
+i had what i wanted i combined
+
+0:01:50.960,0:01:55.200
+danville's method
+
+0:01:52.320,0:01:55.680
+with another method called snowflake and
+
+0:01:55.200,0:01:58.880
+also
+
+0:01:55.680,0:02:01.200
+tony valentine's emacs writing template
+
+0:01:58.880,0:02:02.159
+some of the key features of arg mode
+
+0:02:01.200,0:02:05.360
+that i used
+
+0:02:02.159,0:02:08.399
+were fold on unfold outline
+
+0:02:05.360,0:02:09.599
+column view tags distraction free
+
+0:02:08.399,0:02:12.800
+writing experience
+
+0:02:09.599,0:02:13.840
+using many packages clocking project
+
+0:02:12.800,0:02:16.640
+tracking
+
+0:02:13.840,0:02:17.920
+and export which is what you will see in
+
+0:02:16.640,0:02:21.360
+my demo
+
+0:02:17.920,0:02:24.560
+now to get into some action okay
+
+0:02:21.360,0:02:26.640
+so here we are the superstructure of the
+
+0:02:24.560,0:02:28.879
+novel itself how do we build it
+
+0:02:26.640,0:02:30.400
+first is the plot this comes from the
+
+0:02:28.879,0:02:32.959
+snowflake method
+
+0:02:30.400,0:02:34.160
+you write a one line summary of your
+
+0:02:32.959,0:02:37.280
+plot
+
+0:02:34.160,0:02:40.640
+character design you can write the
+
+0:02:37.280,0:02:42.640
+entire description of the characters the
+
+0:02:40.640,0:02:44.319
+physical descriptors motivators the
+
+0:02:42.640,0:02:45.040
+whole thing you can write all the
+
+0:02:44.319,0:02:48.400
+characters
+
+0:02:45.040,0:02:50.560
+in the novel including the antagonists
+
+0:02:48.400,0:02:52.400
+i researched about the places that i'm
+
+0:02:50.560,0:02:54.400
+going to be using in the novel
+
+0:02:52.400,0:02:56.239
+this is the most important part the
+
+0:02:54.400,0:03:00.239
+story arcs
+
+0:02:56.239,0:03:03.599
+for this i used the very convenient
+
+0:03:00.239,0:03:06.080
+notion of using a column view
+
+0:03:03.599,0:03:06.959
+where when i open it you can see how
+
+0:03:06.080,0:03:10.000
+i've used
+
+0:03:06.959,0:03:13.120
+column view each plot point
+
+0:03:10.000,0:03:16.959
+and who the character is what is their
+
+0:03:13.120,0:03:17.599
+plot point itself so okay and you can do
+
+0:03:16.959,0:03:20.879
+this for
+
+0:03:17.599,0:03:22.800
+each and every uh story arc romance
+
+0:03:20.879,0:03:24.480
+uh each and every character sub
+
+0:03:22.800,0:03:27.360
+character okay i haven't
+
+0:03:24.480,0:03:29.040
+uh labeled them so next is the story
+
+0:03:27.360,0:03:30.879
+design so now we have the character
+
+0:03:29.040,0:03:34.000
+independent character arcs
+
+0:03:30.879,0:03:36.799
+uh here again column view comes in handy
+
+0:03:34.000,0:03:38.400
+this is a different set of columns now
+
+0:03:36.799,0:03:40.560
+you can use
+
+0:03:38.400,0:03:41.840
+not only the main the main character arc
+
+0:03:40.560,0:03:44.959
+is the
+
+0:03:41.840,0:03:48.560
+backbone but in the middle of it
+
+0:03:44.959,0:03:51.840
+supporting characters augment the
+
+0:03:48.560,0:03:53.040
+main character and their own plot points
+
+0:03:51.840,0:03:55.680
+are also
+
+0:03:53.040,0:03:57.519
+can be filled up using the column view
+
+0:03:55.680,0:03:58.720
+and you can find out where which act we
+
+0:03:57.519,0:04:00.720
+are talking about
+
+0:03:58.720,0:04:01.840
+and for the main character what what is
+
+0:04:00.720,0:04:04.640
+it that we're doing
+
+0:04:01.840,0:04:05.840
+okay next is the specifics which is the
+
+0:04:04.640,0:04:08.560
+scene design
+
+0:04:05.840,0:04:08.879
+uh this is going to be look like a mess
+
+0:04:08.560,0:04:11.200
+but
+
+0:04:08.879,0:04:14.400
+it's actually very very convenient can
+
+0:04:11.200,0:04:16.000
+be as exhaustive as you can you can do
+
+0:04:14.400,0:04:18.320
+the title of the scene
+
+0:04:16.000,0:04:19.280
+the act the point of view as it's called
+
+0:04:18.320,0:04:21.280
+point of views
+
+0:04:19.280,0:04:23.199
+which characters point of view are we
+
+0:04:21.280,0:04:25.919
+looking at in this scene
+
+0:04:23.199,0:04:26.800
+is it outdoor indoor we can mix it up
+
+0:04:25.919,0:04:28.639
+match
+
+0:04:26.800,0:04:30.240
+and then where is the location and
+
+0:04:28.639,0:04:33.600
+finally the city in which
+
+0:04:30.240,0:04:37.440
+this scene is taking place now let's uh
+
+0:04:33.600,0:04:40.000
+look at the novel itself i use this
+
+0:04:37.440,0:04:43.120
+novel the distraction free experience
+
+0:04:40.000,0:04:44.320
+for writing the novel 60 000 word novel
+
+0:04:43.120,0:04:46.160
+this
+
+0:04:44.320,0:04:47.360
+first manuscript you can even write
+
+0:04:46.160,0:04:50.320
+comments based on
+
+0:04:47.360,0:04:51.120
+i read this out to a writer's community
+
+0:04:50.320,0:04:54.000
+locally
+
+0:04:51.120,0:04:55.600
+and they give me feedback on what could
+
+0:04:54.000,0:04:56.720
+be improved what could be something that
+
+0:04:55.600,0:04:58.400
+they should be looking at
+
+0:04:56.720,0:05:00.639
+you can write it as comments so it
+
+0:04:58.400,0:05:03.360
+doesn't go into your final export
+
+0:05:00.639,0:05:03.919
+as well i'm using pandora to export it
+
+0:05:03.360,0:05:06.960
+to
+
+0:05:03.919,0:05:08.639
+epub or pdf or word or whatever format

+0:05:06.960,0:05:11.280

+
+0:05:11.280,0:05:15.919
+wrote my novel
+
+0:05:12.639,0:05:17.120
+i used a similar structure for my
+
+0:05:15.919,0:05:19.199
