Writing News
This week bolstered by the knowledge that my lovely sister will be sending me my manuscript back soon, loaded with much sage advice and revision ideas, I actually finished two steps in my Snowflake. Step#5, in which I wrote a character synopsis for each of my 10 characters, which is a summary of the story from their perspective. And I also finished Step#6 in which I made my synopsis longer. Originally I took all of my character synopsis and imported them into the large synopsis, but then I removed much of it, attempting to fit the added info seamlessly into my current text. Who knows how seamless it is, but it is done and that is always thrilling. I’m done with step#6, only three steps to go, Yahooo!
I realised something a few days ago. I have been so hesitant to write because I just couldnt get into the snowflake method. I thought that there is no way I can figure out all that stuff and it hit me. I dont have to do it the same. Silly right? I am so impressed and a little intimidated by your abilitys to write consistantly. I dont know If I will ever end up producing 300 pages. Can I just say WOW. You are such a hard worker!!
That’s funny, but understandable about not wanting to snowflake. In “writing Fiction for Dummies” co-written by the snowflake guy, he lists …4 I think, different writing styles and famous authors who use that style. Many many successful authors write first and organize it all later. You are in good company. And boy I tell you I didn’t want to get up to write this morning! Sooooo tired. but I must….or I will have no fun hobby whatsoever and become a complete looser.
