My goal is to actually finish the first draft in the coming year(Originally, I wanted to finish it this year, but got sidetracked). Anyway, I've found myself veering off while I write the actual story, then going back to change subsequent events in the outline. For that story, at least, it's been helpful.Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147640629724678243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190451394398154097.post-18731070188883571742010-12-08T19:07:27.269-05:002010-12-08T19:07:27.269-05:00Hrm, planning.
My Current (first) story is kind ...Hrm, planning. <br /><br />My Current (first) story is kind of a combination. I did outline the first part of it, and when I get stuck, I will switch back to planning mode. <br /><br />I think it is the programmer in me. Default is to outline, then write.<br /><br />To me, outlining just lets me write the plot on fast forward. If I am excited about where the plot is going, then I can get through it quickly, maintaining that hyperactive excitement. Frequently, when I go back and actually write it out, I find myself straying from the plan, but it is usually better anyway, so no worries.<br /><br />My next story will definitely be fully outlined before I start writing. I find that it makes it easier to know what to do next if I get stuck.<br /><br />--J--Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190451394398154097.post-35734217707152347172010-12-08T17:50:40.865-05:002010-12-08T17:50:40.865-05:00See Facebook.

When I clicked "back" to try in again, after signing in. It was gone. <br /><br />Yeah. <br /><br />Not a happy thing. I hate it when they do that.<br /><br />In any case, I think it's like scrapbooking, or choosing an outfit...is there a best way? I doubt it. All depends on your goals, level of intricacy, and how your mind likes to work. <br /><br />You can probably both go with your own flow and learn from the flow of others when you get stuck and want a new approach. <br /><br />Hope that helps! <br /><br />And we want pics of the office, duh!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
