I also re...Terrific and original pointers. Thanks!<br /><br />I also recommend 'getting it all out,' meaning not judging what comes out in the first draft. You can always cut characters, plot points and sentences later... Over-thinking can stall the writing process big time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217391718085448472.post-76501316035403864782011-09-29T15:20:30.282-05:002011-09-29T15:20:30.282-05:00I'm not a SOTP writer, but I like your tips!

Sometimes I revolve my whole chapter on the hook at the end. I'm always thinking, what will entice the reader to keep going? If I were a reader would this bore me?<br />Sometimes my mind goes blank in the middle of a scene, so I just drop it and move to the next scene. That way I keep my momentum going.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217391718085448472.post-88625860351871732452011-09-29T10:46:22.745-05:002011-09-29T10:46:22.745-05:00Great tips here.

Here's my way of being ready to capture thoughts at any time or place:<br /><br />Pen and paper. <br /><br />I do my first draft this way and then when I type it up I also edit it. If I'm at a keyboard first-drafting I stop, use the thesaurus, noodle around the internet and edit, edit, edit.<br /><br />I like the feel of ink flowing smoothly on paper. I think it helps me creatively because it keeps me going forward. <br /><br />Or maybe I'm just a delusional old-school tree killer...lolMiss Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045004653114991953noreply@blogger.com
