Even if you loose the planning, always keep a clear idea in your head of where you are going. <br /><br />Mrs Stephanie, this was an awesome post. I love learning about the different ways authors do things in the way of actually writing novels. <br /><br />~Annie-JO Annie-JoElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155198820884793013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-37985893664609666992013-08-05T14:30:16.401-05:002013-08-05T14:30:16.401-05:00Thanks, Rachelle!

Big time husband points for that one!<br /><br />James Scott Bell told me he continues to try new things as well. That made me feel so much better about not having The Perfect System figured out yet.<br /><br />Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-59482250335661131822013-08-05T14:20:45.415-05:002013-08-05T14:20:45.415-05:00Love this. :) It's so fun to compare others...Love this. :) It's so fun to compare others' ever-changing methods. :) And thanks for debunking the My Perfect Method lie, Stephanie.<br /><br />{And may I say how excited I am that you have a historical fiction project whirring?}Rachelle Rea Cobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02252622175461113370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-55410203522063613502013-08-05T13:42:17.806-05:002013-08-05T13:42:17.806-05:00Nice process!

I'm not an outliner person (takes too much time :\) but I need to learn how to put a story together more than I am. Anyone else similar to me? Or am I the only one.... ;) But seriously, things have been going better in the planning department, and I'm so thankful for this site. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-2762900970068077932013-08-05T13:41:14.983-05:002013-08-05T13:41:14.983-05:00I'm excited for when I get to take a six-week ...I'm excited for when I get to take a six-week break from my manuscript. . .of course, that means I need to put some extra effort in to make it seem worthwhile! <br /><br />I'm looking forward to the writing retreat and advent of the second 100-4-100 Challenge!Hannah Bartahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113296657540921039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-77445793055482214002013-08-05T12:38:42.956-05:002013-08-05T12:38:42.956-05:00I have a nook, you can do it.

Then plug your nook into your computer using the USB cord, open it as a folder, and drag your PDF into one of the sub folders. I'm not sure what it's called, I don't remember, but you'll recognize it when you see it. It's probably something like PDFs or Documents or Books or something. Sorry that I don't remember. You can also just leave the PDF in the overall Nook folder, that should work too.<br />Hope that helps. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-10934494376396111302013-08-05T12:03:36.753-05:002013-08-05T12:03:36.753-05:00I was having that problem too.

I found that if I sit down and set a timer and force myself to just write for that time (anywhere from 15-30 minutes) I usually end up being able to get a lot down on the page. Sometimes I would even keep going after the timer stops! <br /><br />Kelly Ann Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-4391628685367946782013-08-05T12:01:11.989-05:002013-08-05T12:01:11.989-05:00Do you have an iphone or iPad?

In my email, once I click on the document, there is an option to open it in the kindle app. I'm not sure if you can do it that way with a nook but it's worth a shot. <br /><br />Kelly Ann Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-60532310154373165842013-08-05T11:12:10.445-05:002013-08-05T11:12:10.445-05:00This was awesome to read because I've followed...This was awesome to read because I've followed the blog so closely since you started "write now". I love knowing that I'm not the only one that gets confused and changes and evolves. I hope my changes are for the better, Idk yet. Right now, I'm in a weird spot with writing :( I don't know if its because of other life things at the moment but I just haven't been writing. I want to try again but even when I think about writing and realize I have a chunk of time I don't have the motivation. Everything else is bogging me down, maybe? I pray that changes soon.

That would be really helpful to me once I finish my manuscript b/c I could pretend it is just another book I bought plus I could work on it at Speech and Debate tournaments and I wouldn't have to worry about anyone bothering me :). Most of my friends know to leave me alone if I am sitting in a corner with a book in my hand.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728508020557789277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-75808023050679940612013-08-05T08:23:24.871-05:002013-08-05T08:23:24.871-05:00Interesting...but I've totally noticed this to...Interesting...but I've totally noticed this too. Every time I sit down to write, the writing process is different. Some books I outline in tons of detail, some only a rough page of notes...my current WIP ( which is just a fun project) has no kind of outline at all - I don't even really have any idea what my plot line is haha. Kind of figuring it out as I go, which I normally would NEVER do...but it's kind of fun. :POlivia Smithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248659353869417682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-33482975432074202642013-08-05T06:20:17.492-05:002013-08-05T06:20:17.492-05:00I love it how writing each book can be different. ...I love it how writing each book can be different. I love this post! As I keep reading GTW I find all these new tips and tactics...ahhhh! I just need to write more books so I can try them all. ;) <br /><br />I like trying new writing-processes, because it makes every book more interesting. I used to be a hardcore plotter, but I quite like pansting too. My next book I'm tempted to write backwards. Just for kicks.CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.com
