I'm in the early stages of my first draft and am overly obsessed with one of my male leads. So I'm writing all his scenes and nothing else. Is this normal??
What is this NORMAL you speak of? You realize you're dealing with writers... right?

How does your story end? Will you resolve everything or leave things unanswered? Can you come back to something you mentioned much earlier on to make it seem like a twist?

It ends with hope.
As for the main characters, they all survive. Everyone survives.
Funny you should say this: "Can you come back to something you mentioned much earlier" because that is the direction I am taking.
I'm wondering whether readers prefer a lot of description, or if it's okay to sometimes not describe the settings and actions in detail all the time. If that makes sense.
I had a couple of gins last night and wrote one of my favourite descriptive passages I've ever written. Now paranoid that the rest of my writing is rubbish, and that I'll need to become an alcoholic in order to harness my creativity.
Cindyt I like your attitude XD mine is a similar one- "this might not be the best thing ever written, but its the best thing I'VE ever written by golly."
myself I've had a huge wakeup call ever since I joined here and now I know how to look for extra words to take out of my manuscript. Three chapters in and already cut out over 1k, I'm so pleased and amused at the same time
What are people's thoughts on the quality of a novel vs how long it took to write?
For example, the manuscript I'm writing now is the quickest I've ever written, I just hope that doesn't mean it will turn out poorer than my other novels that took longer to write.
