When you sell this ms and it gets famous, the publisher will contract you to more books and time limits. You have to know what you're doing. No time to flap around. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-87961963502433200852016-05-17T20:56:55.318-04:002016-05-17T20:56:55.318-04:00I try to outline ... but only after the first draf...I try to outline ... but only after the first draft. I've done a few bullet outlines in advance, but they rarely amount to more than 40 or 50 words, so I'm not sure they count. :)Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-13579491025422052462016-05-16T22:21:37.697-04:002016-05-16T22:21:37.697-04:00-Donna--yes, this would be a good time for that, I...-Donna--yes, this would be a good time for that, I think!<br />-Stacy--I like that, too!<br />-Nick--A timeline is also a good idea.

Then I know what's happening when. I do like going down avenues that I don't know where they're going, so I can't start with an outline!Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-11494164389938145542016-05-16T10:30:24.415-04:002016-05-16T10:30:24.415-04:00I have gotten lost in my work, but not for awhile ...I have gotten lost in my work, but not for awhile now. :( Usually the scene ends and I'm out of it. Or Hubby comes home and knocks me out of it. I've been known to sit down at 3:00 to write for an hour or two, look up and see it's 7:00! I really love those days, though. I feel PRODUCTIVE!

I think it's funny that you should post this considering what one of my own blog comments are today. :DDonna K. Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763832177263927311noreply@blogger.com
