And yes. I've totally done this. D...Hey sweets! And yes. I've totally done this. Don't worry. Write those scenes...sometimes Brain needs to make us see things about our characters that we didn't know existed. Brain is all-knowing LOL. Ultimately, it's you that decides whether to use a scene, but look at those unplanned scenes closely...what do they reveal about your characters? If nothing, and they don't further plot, slash 'em later in re-writes. My first draft was nearly 200,000 words. I can't tell you how much my novel changed after I started going back through it, it was change of epic proportions. But all those useless scenes made me figure out what I did and didn't want my characters/plot/novel to be. Best of luck...Glad you're slaying this thing!!

It's such a joy and a pleasure to experience the world through their eyes. ;)<br /><br />@Sarah: You are so sweet! Thank you. I needed to be reminded that it's okay.<br /><br />@Erin: Thank you so much! I'm glad you like my blog. Your photography is beautiful, btw. <br /><br />@Peggy: Bless you, my dear. Right now, I'm in the "I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing-with-you-WIP", but hopefully I'll get over the trickier scenes and feel the love once more. ;D<br /><br />@Barbara: You are wonderful! Thanks for following my blog. I'm working hard on kicking the internal editor to the curb. Else,like you said, I'll never finish. <3 ;DPrecy Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714824672731935371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221929133944009251.post-39461460436355568122011-09-30T16:11:28.670-06:002011-09-30T16:11:28.670-06:00What a beautiful blog you have!
Oh, it's SO ...What a beautiful blog you have! <br /><br />Oh, it's SO hard turning off that inner editor. If I don't force it to shut up, I'll never get ANYTHING done. And yes, sometimes I scream at my characters...WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? THAT WASN'T IN THE OUTLINE! And most of the time I drag them bag, kicking and screaming. Then they usually ignore me for a few days. <br /><br />I love all your inspirations and way to go, 88%!Bklosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445205221951596010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221929133944009251.post-25463807212199292792011-09-30T13:12:44.197-06:002011-09-30T13:12:44.197-06:00I am so with you on the inspirations!
