I hope writing is going well for all of you!
As for today:
Did you write?
Edit?
Research?
Plan?
Send to beta?
Take a break?
Deal with other life things?
How do you feel about your writing today?
I haven't written anything yet today, but it's still early. I just have to pull up the document and start typing. That's easy enough, right?
Today's discussion topic is outlines. Do you use them? If so, what sort do you favor? If not, what doesn't work for you about them? Does it depend on the length of the story?
I tend not to use outlines. For a long story, I'll sometimes make a list of scenes that I think need to happen somewhere before the end, but that's as close as I get to an outline. I just tend to wander through the story, seeing what happens as it comes up. So far, that's worked for me.
