Of course then I stare at the blank page for half an hour, close it, stare at my desktop for another half hour, then close my laptop and waddle away like the unproductive squash I am.

@Court_Moran That's what that is??! I thought it was just a cutsie happy face...but with hands. Don't ask me what I thought the hands were for, because it never even occurred to me.
@EmaLaineAuthor I chose depends because they can be overdone. A lot of what's included can be alluded to in the book itself, unless what's happening just really needs to be explained to be understood, as in Harry Potter ATSS.
@TreyStoneAuthor The middle, so it would make me feel like I've earned it. I think, like all things, I'll be extremely burnt out at the end of my career and wouldn't want to deal with all the energy/hassle of having a best-seller lol.
Just let me sit back in my old age and sip on an iced coffee
@dimitri11192 That makes up at least half of my writing problems. I typically start with character-building scenes that I need anyway and work from there. The plot always finds a way to work itself in. And then it's wrong and I have to rewrite everything.
...good times.
@kmatuszakwrites I always tell my friends that if you have mac n' cheese readily available then it's your right - nay, your duty to eat it. So don't stop. Eat a bowl for me.
@AngelaCherish53 With outlining, start with the beginning and end in mind, and the fill it in from there. This has helped me a lot with catching plot holes before they happen. Use as many or as few details as you want, just keep in mind that FutureYou will either hate you or thank you later.
