I'm forcing myself to take a week off.<BR/>And now I'm ready to get back at it!PJ Hooverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602205868934777662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-23024240728501509612008-10-04T20:14:00.000-04:002008-10-04T20:14:00.000-04:00I have no idea what I'm doing Heather.

I'm just now trying to jump around when I get stuck and it pretty much feels like a disaster, lol. <BR/><BR/>I think any rough draft of mine might as well be a detailed outline since I'm so horrible at outlining. So much rewriting is bound to be needed that it feels that way anyways! <BR/><BR/>Congrats on finishing your rewrite! I'm partially through it. I haven't had much time to tackle it today since the finance is off work but hopefully I'll have some notes/comments for you soon. So far it's great!Casey Somethinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596079290053524103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-48537445188145787822008-10-01T19:36:00.000-04:002008-10-01T19:36:00.000-04:00Re:My outline is apparently failing me because I'm...Re:<BR/><BR/><I>My outline is apparently failing me because I'm having a really hard time coming up with pertinent scenes to write in between the important ones that I've mapped out. I've been skipping all over the place and right now I have a rather large mess because of it.</I><BR/><BR/>Are you going to go back and reread/edit to the point where you’re at? I’ve got to say, that’s what I usually do. However… after this monstrous rewrite, I’m questioning whether, if in that situation again, if it’s what I would do with the next book (because that sort of thing happens to me A LOT). <BR/><BR/>I’m kind of thinking that I might want to try to push through to the end and then treat it like a second outline. Look through it, find the threads that I wasn’t aware I was subconsciously writing and then follow that. Mostly because I ended up cutting all the scenes that made the first draft “make sense” you know? Hum. I figure I’ll be right there in about two months. I’ll let you know what I decide. LOL!!!<BR/><BR/><B>Words written / goal:</B> Goal was to finish rewrite / I did that (although I’m still reading it through)<BR/><BR/><B>Goal for new week:</B> Finish reading / send to betas / edit for criticism – and clean my house that I’ve let come down around my ears. Ha!<BR/><BR/><B>Excuses / comments:</B> It’s a good week. No comments. LOL<BR/><BR/>I may start thinking about my projects for NaNo. I know that it’s supposed to be ONE book, but… I may just focus on word count and get into several MS. Just to see where the wind blows. I don’t know. We’ll see.<BR/><BR/>Do you want Chs 1-9 or wait for the whole thing? I should be finished reading tonight or tomorrow. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, Casey!Heather Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814444108289873041noreply@blogger.com
