Week five 4,223 words
And I organized the first 16 pages of the manuscript so its not just a bunch of scenes on my mac. I am a panster by nature. The actual assembling and filling in gaps (gaps that actually mean something and are not just filler) is hard for me. I know my characters get there - it's really clear in my head - but my head doesn't account for the details - like the same class schedule or chit chat that people have with their friends or consistency in outfits - you know the stuff that makes you a detailed writer. I stink at that. :) But overall, it was a super productive week.
I did some more brainstorming for the contemporary novel that is trying to push my current WIP out of the picture.
I went running once again this week. I still don't like it. I do think I have the breathing under control.
How did you do this week? Are you a panster or a plotter? How do you make your novel come together? Anyone want to do a guest post on this?
