All ready to add some meat to the outline. It’s time to break out the index cards! 😀🤓

It must feel exciting to you!
It really does. My inner chimp’s so happy she’s marching around my head clanging massive cymbals 😀
Woohoo, Index cards — do you have enough 🤣
Man, Ah hope so 😅
Index cards? Are you making a speech?? Sorry, Susan, I’m only kidding 😉
I’m so impressed by your writing process. If I had your self-discipline I would keep falling down plot holes and disappearing into dead-ends! (Although this weekend I’m fighting back to the surface and putting on a spurt in my 32nd chapter.)
But back to you. If Amy and Kelvin’s exploits are anything to go by, you have best-seller material at your finger tips 🙂
Wow, thank you so much, Chris! 😍
I actually laughed when I read about my “self-discipline”–I’ve been in awe of your work rate, and more than a wee bit jealous.
As for the index cards, I’m still a screenwriter at heart and it’s the done thing 😄
This whole pre-editing thing encourages you to outline every possible version you come up with so that you make the best story decisions before writing 80K. It’s a lot of work–a few hundred to a few thousand words (👈 me) each version–but it makes the writing faster.
How’s chapter 32 going?
Pre-editing makes perfect sense. I suppose I just go the long way around. I’m managing to complete a chapter each week, so to be almost half way through no 32 is a plus on a Tuesday (although it depends what you count as the start of the week!!).
Wow! I’m so impressed with your output and commitment. My week starts Sat/Sun, so you’re still ahead of the game by my reckoning. 🎉
