Err, I used to be that way, but for the first time, I have written a synopsis first. We'll see how that goes soon enough.<br /><br />By the way, the pink shirt? Totally awesome.Carolina M.

I'm a Millie kind of writer, which is so odd, because in every other aspect of my life I'd probably be a Evie. <br /><br />Love the pink shirt, by the way. I tried to get my dog Pepsi to wear a sweater during the winter (I live in Michigan), but she was having none of that and tried to eat both it <i>and</i> me. So she's always walking around in the buff.

For one book, I am outlining now the first draft is finished to make the rewrite a bit easier since it's in a different pov.<br /><br />We never had to outline much in school and I forced my way through it when we did have to. In college, I found the papers I planned out ahead of time in classes like honors English and such did okay but not great (B instead of A). But when I wrote them last minute, with little to no preparation, then I did very well. I managed to write a 20 page final paper in public policy in one night and got an A on it.<br /><br />Oh, and... awwwww.

Then I inevitably get stuck and decide an outline is just the thing I need... until I get bored of outlining. Then I go back to creating as I go. <br /><br />And the thing you said about writing a rough draft and then outlining in high school, I totally did that too.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681972776455438121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762330519599483179.post-24904095380413921782010-05-06T22:30:35.451-04:002010-05-06T22:30:35.451-04:00I'm totally an Evie.

Lol...I'll have to steal your idea and tie them into something to do with writing so I can post pics on my blog! <br /><br />As for me, I'm a Millie--although, I have ventured into outlining. Just a little bit. I had so many ideas for the second half of my book that I had to outline them to get them in some kind of order.<br /><br /> Now my word count is getting too high again--sigh!so I'm going to go back and check the outline for any scenes I can possibly cut before I write them. Hopefully that helps! I definitely prefer just sitting down and writing with no plan though!Callie Foresterhttp://www.chimeracritiques.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762330519599483179.post-34937652755849232022010-05-06T16:30:19.084-04:002010-05-06T16:30:19.084-04:00This is too funny!

So I may have been having an Evie moment.Andriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399682348211528396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762330519599483179.post-83036975026168011602010-05-06T16:00:03.302-04:002010-05-06T16:00:03.302-04:00I'm an Evie.

I...SO cute! Thanks for sharing those pics Heather.<br /><br />I know this sounds like a lazy answer but I really am a little in between. I do a very basic skeleton outline, then I vomit words onto the page until a first draft is done.<br /><br />Then, since I've usually written at least twice as many words as were necessary I revise, sometimes editing for length for months.<br /><br />(I've actually only written one novel, but this is how it has worked for me so far).Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.com
