WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 19 -- Tuesday

[linaewen]

Hello on Tuesday!  Sorry I'm a bit late posting today -- I was traveling and just got back to a computer.

What kind of a writing day has it been today -- or if you haven't begun yet, what do you hope for today?

• I thought about my fic once or twice
• I wrote
• I did some planning and/or research
• I edited
• I've sent my fic off to my beta
• I posted today!
• I'm taking a break
• I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

For Discussion: Do you write from an outline?  If so, how detailed is it?  If not, how do you go about organizing your thoughts for writing?

I wrote today and edited a tiny bit and I feel okay about it.

Typically I hold my outline in my head. That way I can nip and tuck at it and it keeps me preoccupied during empty hours like bus rides. I don't have to worry about having the right file or notebook, and usually the ideas I can't remember aren't as good as the ones that stick with me. Sometimes stories mutate this way, but I find that starting with a resolution in mind rarely works for me.
