@lexieaxon: Replying to @Luca it makes such a difference when im approaching a first draft! #author #writingtips #writing #authorsoftiktok #writersoftiktok #writer #writertok #authortok
I do the same! I make an outline, then a more detailed outline, then even more detailed, until I have a chapter lol

I wish I had writing foresight. I call myself a post-outliner. I write the rough draft and then cull the essence from there.

I do this but I’m sections instead of chapters because with the formatting of my book it’s a little difficult to go by chapter. So it’s usually about 14 sections for my current WIP

Sometimes I have to trick my perfectionist brain into allowing me to create scenes 😁

Do you do it chapter by chapter or do you outline all chapters and then write ?

Doing a step by step in a chapter always helps me when I'm stuck.

I do the same thing but I outline my chapters more vague. I’ll take this advice and make the chapter outline more detailed.

Wow this is so interesting! I’m definitely going to try this method. I SUCK at outlining and I’m also a perfectionist 😅

I do this too but it’s bulletpoints of the events in chronological order. I don’t need it for every chapter but it helps when I have writers block

I wrote my entire story (pantser) and it amounted to 8 books worth. that was my outline. now I'm rewriting everything having a better idea. it's crazy how different methods work for everyone. 💪🏼

I’ll do the dialogue trick too sometimes, then I can just come back and add in all the descriptive stuff later and work around the conversation so it flows more naturally 😁
