There's nothing like jumping in the water without a good life-jacket when you can't swim. I also fight with myself when making a signigicant change to the plot; it must pass a harsh panel of different aspects of me before being given the chance (kinda like American Idol, but cooler). I'm very tough on myself as well, and hate when someone else would try the same thing. It's all about growing up, I guess.Julius Cicerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427230227865439672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204927831455821087.post-78059005641738608412011-05-14T22:46:36.340-04:002011-05-14T22:46:36.340-04:00You're so organized!

LOL But I'm a plotter instead of a panster, so I always have the plot of any story written down in a very detailed fashion. I can't say I don't deviate, but I make myself justify any change before I do it. I'm very much the task master with myself as a writer. I'd hate it if someone else forced it on me, but with five things coming out this year, I have to be tough on myself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512314707998638650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204927831455821087.post-46371732625941835922011-05-13T18:54:11.718-04:002011-05-13T18:54:11.718-04:00It took me many years figuring it out through tria...It took me many years figuring it out through trial and error, finally realizing I can't just jump to because I'm so compelled to write.Julius Cicerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427230227865439672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204927831455821087.post-9078074726871267702011-05-13T18:25:52.813-04:002011-05-13T18:25:52.813-04:00Hi Julius!

My second work, a novella, is getting an organized start. It makes writing easier when you know exactly where you are going, and how many pages you have to get there (The second half of my novel is going so much more smoothly because it has proper planning). I'm not suggesting that creativity will never interfere with my plans, but ....well, this time around, at least there is a plan! Talk to you soon....~ NadjaNadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204927831455821087.post-20507429907371328322011-05-13T17:20:22.153-04:002011-05-13T17:20:22.153-04:00Sounds like a plan--I started a notebook after rea...Sounds like a plan--I started a notebook after realizing I'd given a secondary character two different last names, but haven't kept it up. OCD kicks in only sporadically. <br />Since we're not doing Follow Friday, thought I'd stop by and see how you're doing: http://fateandfaith-julee.blogspot.com/2011/05/wanna-be-startin-somethin.htmlJulee J.
