Experiences
of the Day: I had another
crisis today. The first scene I wrote for NaNo hasn't actually
happened yet chronologically, so when I was writing scenes in the
'present' characters were referencing something that hasn't actually
happened to them yet, leaving me with an odd mix of present and
future events going on. Thankfully, I managed to move around the
scenes, meaning I've lost nothing. I don't think I'll be writing out
of order again though; my head can't keep up!
Thanks to everyone who has been reading my NaNo updates and commenting on them; they're greatly appreciated. I am trying to reply to all comments, but if I'm a little slow, please don't think it's because I'm ignoring you.
Congratulations! You're doing great!
ReplyDeleteLast NaNo, I wrote the novel with the scenes out of order (used Random.org to pick that day's scenes to write). I think it only works well if you have a firm grasp on the order of things.
Thank you, Cherie! :D How are you getting on?
DeleteI *thought* I has a good grasp on where this novel is going, as I'm writing the second half of the story, and I have a scene list. Apparently, my brain disagrees! LOL
I couldn't write out of order.
ReplyDeleteKeep writing! You're a day ahead.
Nope, neither can I. I've tried it a few time and it never works.
DeleteThanks for the encouragement! :D
It would throw me off to write out of order too. Yet that could make for a very cool literary effect! Keep writing. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine! It was bad and confusing, but I got there! LOL
DeleteW00t! Well done for making 10K! I think that first chunk is always the hardest!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I agree, getting 10k makes me sure I can push on. :D
DeleteKeep going, you're doing great. I can't write out of order. My brain would freeze.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheena-key. It made my brain freeze too! >_<
