The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.
Happy New Year! I'm a bit late, but there was this party... Haha.
Anyway, this is the year that:
- I graduate high school and start college.
- Raindrops gets re-posted as a new story (eventually).
- Raindrops has its fourth birthday.
Just so you know where I am with my writing, Secondhand Wings Chapter 11 (tentatively titled 'Defining Moments') has about 4,000 words. Raindrops Chapter 51 is only at about 2,000. However, I'm debating on leaving it there (as 50 was a fitting way to end it) and just start posting the new version. That version is at 26,768 words right now. It also has a full outline. Like, the ENTIRE story. It took up about 80 hand-written pages.
So basically, bug me to write. That seems to be the only way I get anything done. :P
And again, HAPPY 2011! I hope sincerely that you write some good stories and read some good books, meet some nice people and have the best year of your life to date. (:
Love Always,
Kayla
Hapy New Year! I need some help-I want to start a story but I don't know where to start. I have a good idea of where it is going to end up. Do you think the best way is to create an outline first? Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! The first time I started my story, I had no clue what-so-ever as to where I was going with it. I just let the plot take shape as I went, and now I'm completely at a loss as to why I did certain things. With the outline, everything makes a lot more sense and things flow, and you can foreshadow if you want and things like that. I HIGHLY encourage it. (:
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
