Getting it down on paper and make things fit together in my novel. It's only first draft. This was expected [oops]

Bearzy 10-30-2014 07:41 AM

Do you have a plan? I find that having a sketch of what order I want things to happen in, and what I want to happen really helps with fitting things together for me.

liquidrage 10-30-2014 07:42 AM

Ah, I have an odd style of writing so typically I end up with hundreds of pages and then omit and alter what's needed until only about twenty are left. xD I essentially just write aimlessly then fit it together and throw away anything that doesn't work. Even then, I have to read through it and fix it a bunch of times before I consider it acceptable.

SuperZombiePotatoe 10-30-2014 07:49 AM

I rarely ever plan. I just write it as it comes. Somehow planning doesn't work for me, but writing a sequence of events sounds like it may help.

CloudDreamer 10-30-2014 08:04 AM

I rarely plan either.

I totally didn't go either xDD

CloudDreamer 10-30-2014 08:11 AM

Working on it. Fine. I'm on my phone - and I'm yawning more - just waiting for sleep to fully attack - should be soon. you go get sleep too!!

Lavinia 10-30-2014 08:13 AM

xD

I ended up at the kindle book store looking for new books...a common thing when i've just got paid, it's bad though, because i never have time to read them all.

I must buy about 10 books every month and it's lucky if i read 2!

serious problem there O_O

hummy 10-30-2014 08:14 AM

CloudDreamer 10-30-2014 08:14 AM

I have so many books I wanna read and never enough time. But hey. At least I have lots of reading material for whenever I fly anywhere. Haha!!

SuperZombiePotatoe 10-30-2014 08:15 AM

CloudDreamer 10-30-2014 08:17 AM

Perfect opertunity to get some reading done!!
I so wanna read over Christmas break. When I have no homework

Lavinia 10-30-2014 08:19 AM

thing is, im so bad with distractions, and procrastinating, as i think you are too, i start to read then drift off to do something else, even if i'm really in to it, yet if i'm on a coach, or a train, or somewhere without wifi or tv, it's kinda the only thing left to do, so i can read for HOOOOOOOOOOURS.

naughty distractions.

I even distract myself looking at other books instead of reading the one im reading xD

SuperZombiePotatoe 10-30-2014 08:19 AM

I wanna read now! *dives in Lavi's book pile*

liquidrage 10-30-2014 08:20 AM

-steals random book and finds a corner to get comfy in-

Lavinia 10-30-2014 08:21 AM

*runs off to edit first post*

I need help deciding which book to read next, there's a few BIG fantasy series i've still not read xD

CloudDreamer 10-30-2014 08:22 AM

Lavi: ohhhh yes! That's so me too!! [yes]

Sorry responses aren't long. I'm on my tiny keyboard on my phone.

SuperZombiePotatoe 10-30-2014 08:25 AM

I need a big, dark, gritty fantasy series to read. ANy recommendations?

Lavinia 10-30-2014 08:30 AM

How dark zombie? I certainly know a few xD

And no worries Cloud, i know the feeling with that one. I post on the kindle sometimes but i barely write one sentence usually xD

SuperZombiePotatoe 10-30-2014 08:31 AM

Um, not picky. Dark is good. Reccommend away! [eager]

Lavinia 10-30-2014 08:33 AM

Ooh ooh i know zombie i know!

If you like Dwarves look for Markus Heitz, they're translated from German and are pretty good cause you dont usually see the Dwarf side of fantasy books except an odd character or two like in Lord of the Rings, yay for hobbit going in to more detail xD

It follows a young Dwarf brought up by humans, but he soon joins the other Dwarves in an adventure to forge a magical hammer than is supposed to defeat an evil warlord, its pretty dark, contains some cool magic and their enemies are dark elves called Alfar...sooo coool.

The Dwarves that help the youngster learn the Dwarven ways are hilarious brothers too xD

---------- Post added 10-30-2014 at 09:34 AM ----------

it is a big book though, and there's 4 of them, so expect ALOT of reading to do...i still need to finish book 3 actually...xD

---------- Post added 10-30-2014 at 09:36 AM ----------
