One is non-fiction and the other fictional to help alleviate the seriousness of the non-fictional book, so it takes forever for me to finish anything. We'll get them done though. It took me two years for my first one, but it was totally worth it! :)<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br /><a href="http://mockturtlemusings.com" rel="nofollow">Elsie</a><br /><a href="http://www.insecurewriterssupportgroup.com" rel="nofollow">co-host IWSG</a><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481323769336692447.post-60610117268561593362016-09-07T14:56:32.046-04:002016-09-07T14:56:32.046-04:00I think you're doing great, Cathrina.

I can only work with the high point type outlines: first meeting(s), inciting incident, turning point, battle scene, and resolution image. Anything more detailed than that kills my writing. <br />And, I love the graphic with Doctorow's quote! <br />Happy writing and life in September!Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481323769336692447.post-14258489277738669402016-09-07T12:05:23.790-04:002016-09-07T12:05:23.790-04:00That's me--I'm a pantser!!!

It does help with the overall picture, but I've never been one who can sit down and plan every detail of every chapter, THEN write.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481323769336692447.post-1332367196632390992016-09-07T12:03:26.301-04:002016-09-07T12:03:26.301-04:00I love the graphic and Doctorow's quote.

But then, I write whenever I can--in the car (speech to text), at appointments, while waiting in the car, when the kids go to play with friends...

That gets me back into the story again. Just thinking "I have to write Ch 17 today" and then staring at a blank screen makes me feel lost.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481323769336692447.post-79812554454661450162016-09-07T08:49:21.020-04:002016-09-07T08:49:21.020-04:00I need solitude to write, too.

Now that the kids are back in school, I can block off some time to get a little writing done. That's the plan, anyway. Congrats for getting so much done over your summer vacation!<br />IWSG Co-host at http://lorilmaclaughlin.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
