How delightful to not be forgotten.

Thank you.

Thinking about pantsing as ‘discovery writing’ really helped me. I started this challenge on time at the beginning, but then life interfered and I needed to help myself before helping birth a book. Now I’m coming at this from a blank page, though with an idea and some themes in mind, but I’m not worried! I’ll just dive in and see what happens underwater!

Tim Weed suggests to create through free write. Then analyze with method (which I initially didn't do).

Write as fast as you can your first draft.

Then work on your characters, setting, plot...

The goal is to avoid the 400 pages I ended up with.

Good luck.

Do not forget to have fun, especially in the discovery process.
