Step 4: Spacing

I've continued to write in my notebook, and I'm enjoying every minute of it. I haven't written on the comp to finish chapter 1 yet, but that's okay. Sometimes you just have to write where you feel the inspiration. I was able to smoothly utilize a dream sequence insert. That's kind of cool. I haven't written the sequence yet, but it's really easily slipped in at this point.

Woo!

Step 3: Continuing

So I went out of town for Thanksgiving and my great-grandmother's 100th birthday. Obviously being able to work on my story in continuity is far more difficult when I don't have access to my computer. So I decided to take a notebook and do more world planning and even write some stuff.

I wound up starting to write right where I think the first chapter leaves off, and I'm up to 8 or 9 handwritten pages. I've been using spare time at school to write in it, as well. Eventually I'll transfer all of it to the computer and start writing something else in the notebook. I haven't had much drive to finish the first chapter because I've been writing this, but at least it's keeping me on track about writing something in general.

I'll probably do more work on the first chapter this weekend, and maybe even finish it. It's got (*counts*) two more scenes. Shouldn't really take me long to finish, it all just depends on how sidetracked I get over the weekend.

Cheers!
