Another Beautiful Writing Day

Posted by: Jenn  :  Category: Brainstorming, Writing

I feel kinda guilty simply reporting Yay, another day of five pages written, every single post.  There has to be some unpubbed’s blog more interesting that this, right?  But…it’s all I have at the moment. :)  I can’t  spend time reading and roaming the web for juicy tidbits, or I can’t get done the writing and plotting and mothering and housecleaning and sleeping…you get the drift.

So, I got my scene written ;) and not only did it go wonderfully, but it’s cute and a bit funny.  What more could I ask for?  The same for yesterday’s goal.  All done and I enjoyed it.  I almost didn’t work this morning.  I told myself to stick with the brainstorming for the day, because I had thought of a couple of plot points while falling to sleep last night that I did not write down.  But I opened my WriteWayPro program (highly recommend it) and just started writing the scene.  Before I knew it, it was completed and I could move on to the brainstorming.

Which brings me to….Smoke and Mirrors.  I’m currently writing the book journeys of each of about seven characters.  Not all of what I write will be shown, but it allows me to see the path they each take and how some events catalyst others.  After this, I will create a timeline, braiding the journeys together to create “one”.  After that, I will start outlining which scenes to use in great detail.  This time around, I want to outline/write the first draft, much how First Draft in 30 Days suggests, but not her way. :)  My way!  I’m not sure how it will go, but it’s my journey too. :D

Ok, off to work on that.  More boring writing progress tomorrow. ;)
