This is what I THINK is going to happen before my fleshing out my outline, which always changes things. This is for my ‘stream of consciousness’, or soft outline. It runs easy on my laptop, costs $7 a month, and doesn’t lag like Open Office.
I am a total fan of this writing processor. Certain dialogue I want to include? Yup, Notepad. Ideas to explore in the outline? Notepad. Names for characters that don’t have their place in Cardsmith? Notepad. Who knows?Īs the image says, this is all for quick ideas or things I can flesh out or put somewhere else once they have a place to go. I don’t know if it’s a side effect of my ADD (I’m not able to stick to any one thing for long), or just the fact that my brain takes the interfaces of different programs and interprets them as ‘this is good for x’ and ‘that is good for y’. But, an amalgamation of different things does. No one thing has ever worked for me on its own. I’ve tried writing in notebooks, in MS Word, and Google Docs. I’ve tried world building sites, like World Anvil.
LORD CARROLL CARDSMITH FREE
I’ve tried free writing, skeleton outlines, chubby outlines, and fully fleshed out outlines.
Then, there are those who either have made the time, or don’t have as many outside responsibilities, who just don’t know how the hell to go about writing their first draft.įor a long time, that was me. I am so lucky to be able to pour myself into my work.īe it a day job, spouse, friends, kids, pets, having an actual life-things get in the way and your story takes the back burner-which is perfectly okay, as long as you’re happy and doing what you want. But I don’t have a day job–other than keeping my furry co-workers alive and making sure my house doesn’t smell/burn down. I’ve dumped countless hours into plotting and fleshing out characters.
LORD CARROLL CARDSMITH HOW TO
They believe it to be too much work, or they just don’t know how to go about it.
Anyone and everyone has the ability to write or tell a story, but the process of getting your plot bunnies in a row and building them from nebulous little creatures into the hulking beast of a novel you’ve always dreamed of is daunting. This is the part that makes and breaks people.
