Knowing me, I'd forget to erase and the next bathroom user will find odd words written all over the place, lol.

That might be why I can easily remember some of the stuff (it's only in writing though, other shit I forget, lol), because I don't have a paper and pen handy. Can't do it while driving; it'll wreck. Can't write on wet paper, lol.<br /><br />And I'm glad I'm back, too! ;)rachel belrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241392630879296187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610819269665864150.post-70233984208589266902010-08-13T02:25:15.467-03:002010-08-13T02:25:15.467-03:00have i mentioned how happy i am that you're ba...have i mentioned how happy i am that you're back at it? :D <br /><br />as for your detailing everything in your head, i think that's my problem with pansting. i can't remember stuff. i think of something, and it's SO WONDERFUL! and then 15 minutes later (yes, that quickly, sadly) it's gone and usually i never recover it.<br /><br />i have to write everything down as it comes to mind of it, which really sucks when i get a brilliant idea in the shower. <br /><br />maybe my brain is telling me i should always be a plotter..?JulieDestryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635253939379618301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610819269665864150.post-48995869336710010922010-08-11T22:06:56.580-03:002010-08-11T22:06:56.580-03:00I've done both.

I had an outline for the first half of the month; the rest I flew by the seat of my pants. I made it over the 50K, though, but I haven't really picked it up since. I guess I got burned out.<br /><br />For my second WIP I completely pants'ed it. 60K in and I'm still going.<br /><br />My novella I finished in a week in a half. No plotting, but I had it pretty much detailed in my head.<br /><br />I don't know what's wrong with me.rachel belrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241392630879296187noreply@blogger.com
