Keeps you focused, and would also help clarify the point of each scene. Great job!<br /><br />Anonymous, good for you for being bold and entering your story! $100 for 1,000 words is a good deal!Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-78080321168967660042011-06-14T21:51:57.774-05:002011-06-14T21:51:57.774-05:00I have a confession to make.

I wrote a short story( about 1000 words) and I thought it was the worst thing ever! I was sooooooo sad at how it turned out. Well, I entered it into this competition and came 1st! Can you believe it!!!! I got $100 spending money in books and I got the chance to read it out to a group of people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-72302081465195517272011-06-14T20:41:27.663-05:002011-06-14T20:41:27.663-05:00I really like plotting out each chapter before I w...I really like plotting out each chapter before I write it. I just started trying that method out, and WOW!! Humungous difference! Even when I feel like my writings dull, I just give the notepad a glance and think "Okay, just keep the the storyline, you can go back and spice it later.". It keeps me on track and gets me pumped up even sometimes to keep writing! =D<br />I can't believe that a me, a seat-of-her-pants writer, has now taken to plotting out the chapters lol. <br />I think might want to try the plotting out the book next on paper, that might come in handy! -DJazmine~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06246960020080246030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-58864743413641121672011-06-14T16:59:12.259-05:002011-06-14T16:59:12.259-05:00One of the best things I've heard is that the ...One of the best things I've heard is that the writing process is different for everyone. There is a lot of excellent advice out there, but don't freak out if you're not doing things exactly as a certain blog post says you should! :)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901886302578503906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-41887972563620027552011-06-14T13:00:26.548-05:002011-06-14T13:00:26.548-05:00Way to go, Rachelle!

I'm completely excited and enthralled with the story (haven't exactly hit those first-draft blues, yet!!). Thank you, Stephanie, for all the great tips you've posted throughout the year (keep 'em coming, please!), as I have learned a lot! I especially loved Jill Williamson's advice about breaking up story ideas into five Acts. I used that while outlining this novel and it worked stupendously!<br /><br />Okay, back to my writing now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06150136011032761640noreply@blogger.com
