Congrats! And how do you do it? Not pantsing, I mean. I can't not-pants (wow, that sounds silly--but I'm sure you know what I mean!).
I dunno. I've been a panster all my life, but this time I decided to try Blake Snyder's beat system since it sounded vague enough to fill in gaps but solid enough for me to have a timeline. I'm adding things in as I go, but having a solid timeline of where I was going, what was happening, and where I was going to end up was a really comforting way to begin. Also, when I get bored going through the first scenes I can hop to a scene that interests me.
So..... How's writing going for everybody (...anybody?)?
Okay. It's getting hard because I'm so close to being finished. I've worked on this project for a year and a half, and I think my brain is beginning to panic about what I'm going to do when I'm done.
It's not worrying because of lack of things to do. I have at least four options to work on once I finish. And that's not counting revisions. ...At least, not on this project. It's more just because I've been working on this for so long. It's not even close to the longest I've worked on something, but I only have one project that had as much go into it as this one. And that one was a historical fantasy (fantasy only because of a minimal amount of time travel ). I'm pretty sure the reason that one didn't kill me to finish was just because I knew if I *didn't* finish it before my friends got back from tour, I wouldn't finish it for at least another three months. So I finished about three hours before they got back.
I'm baaaaack. Mwahaha!
Did you know that (traditionally) in Denmark that means "I love you"?
I haven't been writing-I was away at a friend's visiting so I am hoping to get some writing in this week I think I am like 4 scenes from being done with this round of revisions
No I had no idea. *note to self- don't use that face in Denmark*
You can do it. I just want this round to be done with so I can send it to betas and then get it back again. Plus I'm still waiting on an internship app (darn you BEA, causing the pub world to go quiet ) and also on an agent's crit of my first 30 pgs. *siiiigh* I hate waiting.
