One little tip that I got from 2 new york times best selling authors... while your writing, if you have a character suddenly pop in, and you need to go back & "weave them in" DON'T DO IT! Make a note or something in a notebook, or right there in your manuscript in BIG RED LETTERS, and then when you rewrite your draft (which you will about a million times), add them into the beginning. Otherwise you'll never finish your first draft. BEST ADVICE EVER. At Least Yvette & I thought so...
This is indeed extremely good advice.
But I actually still weave some of the time... I can't resist it. But I've made sure I don't get stuck there, and I'm very close to finished. I have also started making notes in red letters of things that will need further weaving, or checking, etc... The key point is to keep going forward, and I'm doing that.
Just keep writing, just keep writing... We need Dori Just Keep Writing icons. Yes. y
