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.

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/

Get that Book Published

USA UK Denmark Asia FREE On Kindle Unlimited Write no matter what anyone says.  We all have a story to tell.  If you are a writer, your friends and family might get why you write.  I know that my family does not get me at all.  They just roll their eyes and ignore the fact that I am now a self-published writer.  They don't care.  So I don't talk about my writing to them.  Why waste my time. Instead, I write.  I might not write 2,000 words everyday.  What I do everyday is, I write.  I write and it might only be 100 words, but I wrote something. I blog and I consider that writing.  I have people come to my blog everyday.  People are reading what I write, like you are reading what I have written, therefore I am a writer.   I know that it is lonely sometimes and you wonder why bother.  I write to live.  I can not write. You can be a self-published writer in less than a mont...
