I wish I could start at page 1 and write to the end but it just never happens that way. And all the 'joining it together' stuff can be really DULL! Plot glue. It's messy, fiddly, and really not that much fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650714799842481877.post-68277968568275573922011-07-28T23:48:54.051-04:002011-07-28T23:48:54.051-04:00Hi Emily!

I feel your pain about plot holes--I wrote my last project out of order, and I spent a good three months filling in all the less-exciting gaps. Good luck with your first draft! I'm trying to finish this one by the end of summer, too, so we'll suffer through the painful parts together. :)<br /><br />and Shari, I can't wait for you to read this one! It's coming along a lot faster than I thought (I'm sending you an email about it soon), so hopefully you'll be able to read it sooner rather than later! (hopefully before I go back to school...do I dare make such a lofty goal?)Kaitlin Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396607556882297132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650714799842481877.post-88869184981505595492011-07-28T09:20:18.424-04:002011-07-28T09:20:18.424-04:00Hi Kaitlin, I write YA fiction too and I've be...Hi Kaitlin, I write YA fiction too and I've been searching the blogosphere for like-minded lunatics. I'm working on a completing a first draft of a novel by the end of this summer and I'm forcing myself to sit at my desk all day every day, but I usually end up reading blogs just to feel like I've got someone to talk to! Plot holes are the bane of my life at the mo. Hope yours are filling up better than mine!<br />EmilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650714799842481877.post-47259106693150682282011-07-28T08:06:16.052-04:002011-07-28T08:06:16.052-04:00I love that you're bringing RFC back again.

It's clear how dedicated you are to your characters and their journeys, and that's a beautiful thing. <br /><br />Can't wait to read this one day :)Sharihttp://workofheart09.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
