It looks great and congrats on landing the agent!<br /><br />As for all the backstory writing...I definitely wish I'd done more before I'd started my current project. Of course, it's the first novel I've revised...so. Well. There's a lot of things I'm learning through this process!Erin Shakespearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794751563128418926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781654799076434662.post-26417949990274755372011-03-14T15:38:59.999-07:002011-03-14T15:38:59.999-07:00Thanks Heather! =D

But I'm also impulsive and impatient, so I tend to just start writing with no clear picture in mind! But like you, that usually results in a lot of backtracking. Hate doing that.Jenn Rushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01134171215051580507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781654799076434662.post-12413574932561118172011-03-14T13:29:18.977-07:002011-03-14T13:29:18.977-07:00I always hated behind the scenes stuff and pre-wri...I always hated behind the scenes stuff and pre-writing and making charts for my characters....until I saw how freaking helpful they can be! I always just wanted to jump into the writing, which you know, meant tons of re-writing as I figured out these things along the way. BUt as much as I might not be a fan of Plotting, I am even LESS a fan of throwing away tons of useless pages b/c a plot point changed mid-way through :) So now I spend at least a few days doing this stuff, charting out plot points, character personalities and flaws. I have the patience of a gnat, so I still spend as little time as possible, but I'm much more thorough now!! Good luck on New Secret Project!Heather Anastasiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974838585457441140noreply@blogger.com
