The Weekly Smile for 7/6/2020 #weeklysmile – tossed outline day one
I did start NaNoWriMo with the outline and after several paragraphs I gave up on the outline and went back to m pantser ways. I wasted a lot of time trying to follow an outline and it simply isn’t to be. I am a pantser and intend to stay that way. An experiment going way wrong. I changed my idea almost immediately and I wasn’t going to redo that outline for anything.
So my smile was ripping it up and tossing it away into the trash.

Sometimes you need to stay with what works for you.

Yes although I did find I need a few things with such a large project. I couldn’t keep all the characters straight so made a list of characters and their relationship in the story, a list of google names, places and business names so there were all fictitious, and I need a timeline of sorts because it got out of whack a little bit and I am only 26,000 words in so far. BUT NO outline.
