I'm back with 8 days to outline for our challenge, EEK!
🕑 Added 2024-09-22 14:27:00 +0000 UTCWe're at the point where we can start counting down the days on our hands until our challenge kicks off! Am I ready? NO. But I'm hoping to be soon!
This next week will be all about outlining. I finished my reread of my old Zero Draft material and have an okay idea of the parts I want to keep and what I want to change. But during our livestream (linked above!) I'm hoping to really finalize those details and begin creating my Scrivener doc from Beginning to Middle. This part should be pretty quick, I hope, so that I can REALLY focus in on outlining from End to Middle, where I think things start getting trickier.
My brain is still a little foggy still from having just returned home from my trip, but look! I made a pumpkin!
Well, "I" made it. A professional glass blower let me blow to shape it a few times and then did the actual hard work bahaha. But now I have this cute little pumpkin! (Note the finished, blurry F1 race in the background -- my team won this morning, but it was very stressful bahaha.)
I hope to see y'all at the stream! (Taking place in, oooh, about 1.5 hours as of this posting bahaha.) I'll pop back in soon with our final Preptember stream and info about our shared tracking document. :)
Until then, happy writing!!

Yay! Thank you for the feedback. I'm planning to do some more prompts in 2025 if these are helpful.

These prompts are great, thank you so much!

Looking forward to the challenge! I've got everything outlined for both projects, I was hoping to get my 0 draft for Ankle Biters down before October but I just don't think I'll have the time. Your pumpkin is so cute!

I LOVE THIS CLARA! I'll share it in the next post as well, this is wonderful. :)

AHHHH! Yay Jimmie, I'm so glad!! I stuck around about five minutes after the stream and managed to get myself to the Midway point of the story, so it was really helpful for me, too. :)

I missed the Livestream but I did finish my mini project of making prompts for this challenge to share: https://ko-fi.com/i/IQ5Q713R3CJ The full prompts are longer and I tried to put together ones that could be fun or just help combat writing blocks by shifting perspectives. I only did 14 so they can be used to augment and support whatever projects everyone is working on. They'll post every Monday since there are 14 Tuesdays through the challenge.

Thanks for the sprints today! I really feel like I worked out the pacing for my second act. I have a romance plot and a mystery plot and I was struggling to interweave the different elements, but I feel like I have a better handle on it after the two long sprints today.

I don't think I've ever watched a live stream before, but I'm gonna try and catch this one... I have so much I want to finalize in my current WIP before I can begin work on the sequel for the Q4 challenge
