Writing Discussion Thread is Organizing

 

What This Thread is for:

– talk about what you’re writing

– share what you’re writing, if you’re comfortable with that (and if you want or don’t want feedback, please indicate that also)

– talk about the writing process and what works and doesn’t work

– discuss things like characterization or plot issues you’re working through

– brainstorm ideas

– getting/giving positive feedback if solicited

What we’re not doing

-writing prompts

– any kind of shaming about topics or anything like that

Optional Discussion Topic: Organizing

How do you keep your thoughts straight? How do you decide when one chapter ends and another begins? How do you keep track of what’s happening in a complex timeline? Do you write outlines? Do you have charts with lines going all over the place like the guy in the meme with the red strings? What works and doesn’t work for you?
