Round 98, Hour 24

Halfway through the positives! My document is open and my headache is slightly better so hopefully I can make with the words!

Speaking of words, is there any writing happening where you are? Or did I hop dimensions again?

I hear some people use square brackets around whole chunks of scenes, not just details they don't want to look up or figure out while in the flow.

I hate that as a philosophy (read: I have never yet managed to do the thing without either dropping the bit or, after writing the bit, substantially rewriting earlier-written for-later-reading bits), but I am || close to doing it anyway in hopes that a later part of this scene will go.

oh yeah I do that all the time I write the scenes I know and build from there, because what used to happen is I'd get stuck on the part that happens next and then just stop writing it altogether lol

the thing is, and I've probably said this a dozen times this week but it's still true, the thing is I [am pretty sure I] know all the parts of the scene. Except the order of some of the bits. But I know which bit is first, so the order of the rest can sort itself out as I go, or I can get down the first bit and then worry about which is next.

right?

I mean, you'd think.
