I hope everyone is starting off their last “week and a bit” off well.
I’d like to remind everyone that there is no single right method to writing, so while I use a skeletal structure, such might not be “right” for you.
Regardless of the method you use, flexibility is still key to be both more productive and effective.
With that in mind, this past week, I filled in about a third of chapter four’s structure and with the second third of the structure, I revamped it to better fit the whole.
While such a change-up might be more obvious if you are an “architect” or “planner”, it is still a skill you should work on if you are a “gardener” or “pantser” type of writer as well.
While writing, until the final copy is submitted (and even then, there are post-release updates) details have a way of changing.
I use notes, both comments in the code and notes I make outside of the text file I am working on, to help me determine when and if I need to change something.
What other helpful things do you use to help you recognize change is needed?
