#third: once you hit 20k words separate the big file into ‘chapter’ files

[we-re-always-alright]

I’m at the part in my fic writing where I now have to put in my placeholders as a checklist for the sections (parts) that I need to write to connect the parts that I wrote immediately because I could see how they should go down. is it the most weird way to write??? maybe so but it does get done.

#first: start a file to dump all the exciting parts that you want to write #second: once you’ve got an idea of a story write an outline #third: once you hit 20k words separate the big file into ‘chapter’ files #four: keep writing #five: at some point scope the connective tissue #six: write the connective tissue #seven: once you have the first big sections done finalize actual chapters and start posting #eight: finish the fic #nine: finish posting #bonus: this all happens on my phone because I am unhinged #thoughts? thoughts
