novel – WILL WORK 4 LOOT

By the seat of my pants…

Posted on August 27, 2016 by raventhemad@yahoo.com

I have been working on a new novel project recently and had a great start. I got to 12000 words and then the dreaded stall. My momentum came to a halt and now I am struggling to get going again. The problem? Pantsing. I have been writing this story using the pantsing method. For anyone not familiar, pantsing is where you just kinda have a general idea where you want your story to go, make up some characters and start writing. You just let the story go where it goes. I am usually an outlining type person. I like to have outlines of the stories based on scenes or chapters so that the writing goes much smoother. This one was different.

I really didn’t even have a full idea of what the story was. I just had a really cool set of characters that I wanted to write about. I put on some music and let the story take me to where the story wanted to go. Unfortunately, I stalled. I came to a point in the story where I had no idea what was going to happen next. So now I am stuck. I have a chapter that I have to get through in order to get going again and nothing is happening.

So now the question is do I start an outline to get me through? Or crack out the bourbon? Hopefully I will find a solution before the three day novel writing weekend. I was intending to get a whole lot more done if not finish the first draft on that weekend. With a goal of 60,000 words, I should be able to get that finished. Just got to pull myself up by the bootstraps and get to work!

What is your preferred method of writing? Pantsing or outline?

Writing, writing, and more writing!

Last Thursday I started working on a new novel. I have a bunch of novels in various states of outlining, and I even have one at the 25000 word mark. That one, unfortunately, is undergoing a plot change that means I need to rewrite a lot of it. Which means I am stalled out on it. This new novel though, was an idea I had that I really wanted to do. To make it even more challenging I wanted to see if I could write the first draft in a month and a half. My target word count is between 60K and 75K as I feel that’s a good length for a novel. I have another goal which is to get more description in. I want my draft chapters to be at least 1500 words.

So I get to writing and start pounding out the story. Only I don’t have an outline or anything, just this really awesome pair of characters. So what do you do in a situation like that? Well, I plugged myself into some music and let it flow through me. I like to listen to acoustic mood music. No lyrics or very few lyrics is the best. It swirls through my brain like a symphony of colors, summoning pictures of places and people. Soon, my fingers were flying across the keyboard.

Today as I write this, just one week after I started this project, I am sitting at 11K words! I just finished Chapter 7. I feel like I should be further in, but I did have a couple days where life happened and I couldn’t write. Doing the math though, I found that I have done on average 1571 words a day. That is a pretty good accomplishment, and if I maintain that pace, a 60K word novel will take 38 days to write. With 7 days down, I’ve got a month to go and the draft to my new book will be done.

It is important levitra professional to adhere to the suggested way.

Obviously getting the draft done does not equate to a finished product. Remember that you can’t edit a blank page. Getting the story written is 90% of the battle. That’s why it is so important to really ride yourself into getting that draft done, because when its done the story is out there. Beginning, middle, and end. Once there, you can start polishing that turd into a brilliant literary work of genius!

Keep Writing!

That “Bad” Chapter.

Posted on June 23, 2015 by raventhemad@yahoo.com

Writing a novel is educational, and stressful. Probably more stressful than anything else. There are so many areas where writers get tripped up. The other night I was talking to my son who is also an aspiring writer. He was telling me about a friend of his who had been working on a novel for three years. “Three years? What’s the hold up?” I was pretty astounded that someone could stall that long on their work in progress. “There’s this one chapter that just doesn’t work right and they keep going over it trying to fix it.” Ahah, now that was something I could relate to. The “Bad” chapter. That one chapter that you have to have to make your story progress, but which always feels forced or ill worded. It just doesn’t work.

So what do you do with a bad chapter? Well, for me the solution was to skip it. That’s right, I skipped it. I put two sentences that explained what I needed to happen to progress the story and moved on. Once I had a good flow going on the next couple of chapters, I had the bad chapter figured out. One of the things that helped with this was that I had a decent outline for the whole story. It wasn’t super detailed, but it was enough to allow me to put a placeholder in the said chapter and move on. Once the story unfolded in the next chapters, what needed to happen in the bad chapter became obvious. Super easy! Well not really, but it did work for me.

Writing is difficult under the best conditions, but being stuck is the worst feeling ever. Anything that can get you out of that is welcome. The more you write, the easier it gets, and the easier it gets, the more you want to write!
