Check-In – Day 27

[samuraiter]

I think Tuesdays are for cleaning up the mess that Mondays leave behind. What have you been doing?

— Thinking. Maybe a little, maybe a lot.
— Writing.
— Outlining, planning, and / or prewriting.
— Researching and / or revisiting canon.
— Editing.
— Sending things to the beta.
— Posting!
— Relaxing, taking a break, etc.
— Other stuff-ing. Look at the comments.

Question: How often does your writing follow your prewriting? Do scenes always go the way you want them to go?

I'm having trouble getting back on track with writing after having guests and traveling. Not sure if today is going to help me any with getting organized writing-wise, but I can only hope! I'm so close to finishing a chapter, yet it's like I'm starting from square one just trying to add one more scene to finish it up!

Things often go according to my prewriting plan, but not always. I usually end up realizing I was trying to put too much into a chapter, or I realize I don't have enough and I have to add to my plan. Sometimes I realize I totally forgot about something important and have to totally rework my outline!
