Hello JW!
Yay!! So glad that you did this tag! I love the gifs that you chose, especially the Naruto and Superman ones which made me laugh 🙂 Hope your WIP is going well! Are you going to do Nano in July or November this year?
I’d like to say yes, but who knows? I still have to edit the WIP that this post was about, and I have last year’s NaNo to finish after that. How about you?
I think the great thing about Camp Nano is that you can set your own goal (word count or minutes), so you can even do it if you are in the middle of editing a novel 🙂 I just finished my novel and started plotting a new one, so I think I will be ready to start by July. Yes I am outlining!
Ahhhh, I loooove outlining. It might be my favorite part of the process. First draft is pretty great, too. Editing drafts… fun, but there’s something special about first draft and outlining (which I sometimes call the ‘zero draft’)
I’ve always been a half-outliner but end up ditching the outline and changing things up when I actually start writing. However I am trying to outline more this time 🙂 Do you think outlining produces a more polished first draft?
I’d say it makes for a more stable plot by end of first draft, but not always. Like you said, sometimes the story comes alive and you stray from it anyway. The main reason I outline is because of ‘writer’s block’. Since I started outlining, I don’t get it anymore. I start to get it and I just look at the next point on my outline and boom, I’m back on that keyboard! WB hasn’t touched me in years.
I had a stretch of writer’s block with my most recent WIP which was not fun. That’s great to hear that outlining helped you through. Hope that it’ll work for me too 🙂
On another note let me know if you ever need a beta-reader! I’d be glad to swap novels.
That’d be FANTASTIC! Really could have used you on the last one, but I’m past beta-reader stage now. Same offer goes for you. Nice thing about having writers for beta readers is that we know what kind of feedback we’re looking to get back, and not just kind words amounting to “good job.”
That’s too bad that I missed the beta-reader stage of your last novel but let me know if you need one coming up! I think my current WIP needs another polish before I can show it to anyone but I will let you know 🙂 Yes I think writers make great beta-readers because they know what to look for in a good story.
