I think I've pushed through that stage now, though. <br /><br />Have a great week!Kaitlin Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396607556882297132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650714799842481877.post-54810832081193942932015-07-14T09:52:07.650-04:002015-07-14T09:52:07.650-04:00Thanks Alicia!

The pantsing has added a couple challenges, but I'm still loving all the surprises I find as I go along. :)Kaitlin Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396607556882297132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650714799842481877.post-80703136869670523992015-07-14T09:51:23.727-04:002015-07-14T09:51:23.727-04:00Thanks so much!

I had my first writing session away from my current project last night (doing revisions on some short stories for a change), and it was strange not spending time with my usual characters. Maybe absence will make me love them even more! ;) Kaitlin Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396607556882297132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650714799842481877.post-52771289511649452492015-07-14T09:49:57.251-04:002015-07-14T09:49:57.251-04:00Thanks so much, Katy!

I wrote that excerpt and kind of took a step back and just looked at it...as of right now, it sums up what I want my entire manuscript to be about. I've never had that big of an aha! moment with a line before. <br /><br />And miles and miles=my end goal! I'd love to run a 5K (if not officially, on my own in a time I'm proud of). <br /><br />Have a great week too!

RSW is doing wonders with keeping me in line. :) I'm back at the drawing board to figure out a few holes in my story, but I still love the unknown.

It all seems so good up until you don't know where you're going anymore, right? Taking a step back to do some light outlining/planning usually works for me, too, so I hope it gets you back on track. And I love both your excerpt about friendship and the sound of the one you're writing. Sometimes the best friendships do come from the most unexpected places. Hope you have a great writing week :)Rebecca Barrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007014501516438149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650714799842481877.post-14887411066749834612015-07-13T21:19:46.347-04:002015-07-13T21:19:46.347-04:00Congrats on meeting your goal again, especially wi...Congrats on meeting your goal again, especially with the pants challenge.

I'm very impressed with what you accomplished this week. :-) I think I'm a weird hybrid of plotter and pantser, so when I hit those parts in my WiP that I very clearly pantsed, I run into problems. Back to the drawing board, right? Sounds like you've got this well in hand, though. Hope this is another great week!Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.com
