March 2021's Writer Support Thread

This is a common concern that many of us share… if I may, I’d like to make a suggestion.

My suggestion is to let it go for now and finish your writing. The balancing can be addressed in futrure passes or reviews of your material.

This goes for everything. I personally plan out 4 or 5 passes just in the first draft of a story.

  • initial writing pass
  • initial coding pass
  • initial systems and mechanics pass
  • initial editing pass
  • initial play-test pass (aka pre-alpha slice-of-life testing)

From there, I add future passes… for example on the project I am working on now, I have 3 additional passes scheduled, because there are things I need to go back over, discovered during this current March pass I am working on.

You don’t have to be as detailed as I, but I hope this helps you address your concerns and shows you a way forward.
