Heath...Anne, hope the answer was somewhat helpful!<br /><br />Heather, yes this novel was born out of the Snowflake Method—I'll stop by your blog and join the discussion soon as I have a chance. :-)<br /><br />mirrors, yep Merlin is my new obsession, following in the footsteps of such glorious addictions as Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who. I've not seen Robin Hood. :-)Joanna Ruth Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053542093315073091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880959587418064473.post-1473397123873033662010-02-14T17:20:23.830-07:002010-02-14T17:20:23.830-07:00Congrats on the word count.

I just dl'ed that from itunes the other day, but I have to get through Veronica Mars first--which is a surprisingly good show. Have you seen the BBC's Robin Hood series? I liked it a lot for the first two seasons.mirrorsandmagicfrogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285021024623089514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880959587418064473.post-56907619834451002322010-02-14T06:27:10.184-07:002010-02-14T06:27:10.184-07:00Joanna--what fantastic progress.

We've got a discussion and some questions floating around my blog about it, and you are the one who introduced me to the idea, so I thought I would go to the source.Heather Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699360166269376285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880959587418064473.post-52087951325426667692010-02-14T02:33:25.629-07:002010-02-14T02:33:25.629-07:00At least you're streaming through SOMETHING! =...At least you're streaming through SOMETHING! =)<br /><br />Thanks for the answer, Joanna.Anne M Leonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547591113801578453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880959587418064473.post-87008254294033329492010-02-13T10:42:50.389-07:002010-02-13T10:42:50.389-07:00Plotting all the scenes out definitely helps, thou...Plotting all the scenes out definitely helps, though I've actually strayed from my outline quite a few times. Some things I can't really predict until I get to that point in the story and the narrative dictates that they go a certain way instead of how I'd planned on my my outline. Sometimes it's just subtle stuff, like conversations happening in different locations, sometimes it's more drastic—the other day I decided to add a whole chapter to my outline because my MMC **clearly** needed to have a momentary bout of arrogance before he realizes things are not quite as hunky-dory as they seem. Random things like that. I guess I would say my outline is structured but flexible, which is just how I like things.<br /><br />If only I could steam through revision, too... :-)Joanna Ruth Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053542093315073091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880959587418064473.post-36036586289398567722010-02-13T04:52:23.509-07:002010-02-13T04:52:23.509-07:00Wow, go you!

I usually feel pretty proud of myself if I can write 1K a day.<br /><br />I know you're able to do this in part because you plot out everything before you start. But do you ever change your mind or find yourself straying from the plan? Or is that part of your process and you're still able to bang out the words? Just desperately trying to understand how you do this--and wishing I could write more like you!Anne M Leonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547591113801578453noreply@blogger.com
