Write The Major Scenes First.

I have the rough draft of The Cross finished.

I do not want to go through the entire rough draft and rewrite each scene, only to discover that I will have to rewrite them again.

I have the last chapter of the book written in longhand. When I start putting it into the computer.....I am going to put the must have scenes into the computer. I will rewrite them. Then when I start to rewrite from the beginning, I will know where I am going.

I know that this might not be typical of what others writers are doing, but I want to write the scenes that are screaming in my head. Get those scenes into the computer. I consider those anchor scenes. Must have scenes. This way I am excited as I write.

I am not writing the scenes in order.

This is what I have done so far:

Title Page
Insert Page Break
Copyright Page
Insert Page Break
Chapter One
Insert Page Break
Chapter Two
Insert Page Break
Continue until you get your last chapter, be it ten chapters or twenty

So then when I want to type in a scene and know what chapter it will be in, I go to that chapter and start typing.

I have 3 chapters per scene.

Hero
Villian
Hero

Next chapter
Villian
Hero
Villian

etc.

Then I know where to put each Point of View.

I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it. I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on???

Don't Be Scammed

This is my number one pet peeve on being self published. There are people, website, and courses out there, that want your money. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND! There are websites out there that will charge you for services that you can learn to do yourself. If you don't want to learn these things that is fine, pay for it. But if the reason that you are paying for services is because you don't t think you can, you are totally wrong. I have said this before and I am saying it again. I knew nothing when I started in 2011, I had a computer. I had no idea how to send a file via e-mail. I had no idea what to do one I got the file back from the formatter. How do I get it uploaded on Amazon. I had no idea that I had more than one drive on the computer. I downloaded a file and had no idea where it went. If you are thinking that you can not learn this. I am proof you can learn if you set your mind to it and are willing to learn. Don't...
