Writing Challenge Check-in #2 ~ 4:25

We have the second 7 days of the June Writing Challenge. This week is the actual start of the novel; the first week sketched out scenes that would build into chapters. We also had basic research and setting up our masterbook last week.

This week shows the benefit of foundational work as we pour into the Rough-Write stage of the novel.

Besides our check-in for the first 13 days, I discuss how I’m a puzzler in the sketching stage, a pantster in the Rough-Write stage, and a Plotter in the Draft stage.

Also, here are the 8 Steps to a Perfect Scene, which I picked up somewhere ages ago and still find very helpful.
