AuthorTuber Kate Cavanaugh defends the process of fast drafting. This is a method which I have begun to embrace (again), after years of procrastination.

. . . On this Writer Wednesday, I thought I’d share one of my biggest issues when I fast draft: telling verbs. It’s easy to put these in as placeholders as you work, but in my first round of revisions my immediate goal is to get rid of every telling verb I see. . For example... “ I heard the sounds of a violin in the next room.” When I see this I instantly want to change it so the reader is not pulled from the narrative. To avoid the “telling” verb, I can easily replace this sentence with “The sounds of a violin floated in from the next room.” You still achieve the same end goal, creating a scene where the reader hears the sound without actually telling them what your character is hearing. By making this simple change, you continue to keep the reader engaged while also giving visceral tone to the scene. . What are some of the quirks you find in your own writing when you work on a first draft? . . . #amwriting #yawriter #amwritingya #yahistorical #yawritingcommunity #writingtip #tellingverbs #fastdraft #firstrevision #yawritinglife #yawritersofinstagram #yawritersofig #yaauthor #yaauthorlife #yaauthorcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CJbZ_xKAlyg/?igshid=jwpmunhfvp80

4190 / 3500 for Week 9 of fastdrafting

Hill to Die On currently sits at 40,720 words (woo!! broke 40k!), a mixture of 30+ canon prose, 5k deleted prose, and 5k outlined prose/bulleted plot line. That means I have less than 10,000 words until I meet my fastdrafting goal of 50,000.

Oh NaNo

Oh NaNo. I had such sweet hopes for our relationship this November. October had other ideas.

Here we are 8 days in to our NaNo fun and I’ve written zero NaNo words.

It’s okay though. October’s work is slowly moving toward conclusion.

Looking forward to you, NaNo.

TOTAL Writer NaNoWriMo Breakdown

It is I, the lovable monster Grover, and I have taken over the blog because … How do I say this? Carrie is not doing well. Oh no, she is not doing well at all.

She is doing NaNoWriMo again.

National Novel Writing Month is where writers try to draft out 50,000 words of a first draft of a novel in a month, which amounts to 1,667 words a day. Carrie’s very first published novel was…

I’m not very far into this WIP so I can’t really say that there are many interesting lines (especially since I’m fast drafting) but this one I suppose brings a few questions to mind. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #wipjoy #writingquotes #✍🏾 #fastdraft #firstdraft #tobeahero #novella #readersofinsta #storytellerscafe #wordgasm #storyexcerpt #writemore #writeon #writeyourownstory #diversefiction #igwriting #writersmovement #wattpadbook #wattpadwriter #creativeprocess

Day 11: #12daysofwriting Your project in 3 pictures. I decided again to stick with my series for this since I can’t reasonably break my short story collection into three pictures! The main points of The Alchemist’s Keeper are Twila, her coven, and her advancement to the crown. This is despite the murder of her parents, a political scandal, and a potential magical genocide. . . . . . . . #12daysofwritingchallenge #wip #workinprogress #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #amwritinghorror #amwritingfiction #fantasywriter #horrorwriter #darkfantasy #newadult #newadultfantasy #na #indiepublishing #indieauthor #amediting #fastdrafting #fantasy #magic #alchemy https://www.instagram.com/p/CJHsiBGHXvW/?igshid=1jqkb8y8quxin

After watching this video on Writing Process and Tools from Kate Cavanaugh, I was motivated to just begin drafting my current project. The zero draft allows for the fact that despite having an outline, I still need several details to “reveal themselves, and that cannot happen until I get these scenes out of my head and off the cards. In between the zero draft and the first rewrite, I will be better able to fill in the blanks. Fast drafting will allow me to get the words down without panicking about this and that. A great video, highly recommended particularly for writers who use planning as a form of procrastination!

Fastdrafting HtDO: Week 3 Summary

Doing this a day early since I'm going to be visiting my sister!

Sunday 3/6 | 961 / 720 Monday 3/7 | 801 / 720 Tuesday 3/8 | 1125 / 720 Wednesday 3/9 | 781 / 720 Thursday 3/10 | 762 / 720 Total word count: 4430 / 3600 WIP grand total, including pre-FD: 15,742 !!

I split it up over 5 days instead of 4 since this week was my spring break and afforded me more unadulterated time each day! :D

One thing I'm particularly proud of is figuring out how the ending is going to go. Now I just need to fill in all the question marks in the middle, which come less from not knowing what happens and more about what order I want it to happen in!! But I'm definitely getting there, and I'm VERY proud of 15k.

Love or Hate...Rock or Rockstar

Love or Hate…Rock or Rockstar

Oh the agony…

Okay, not really.

I’m working on the beginning of the first draft of a book. It’s a love/hate relationship.

One day I love the words. They’re gold. They are rockstar. They sing to me while I breathe life into the story.

And the next they are struggling to be anything more than rock…not pretty rock, just that plain white gravel…that stuff that flies off of trucks on the highway and…
