Not sure if this is going to sound weird, but we actually share a lot of similar drafting practices! I donāt keep a diary though, but now Iām thinking I should. š¤ also, I love seeing you on here. Your substack is one of my favs. š«¶š½
Saving this post because I'm definitely going to come back to it later, thank you for sharing your process! The point about social media and connection is so valid, I'm definitely glad you feel like this is a way to connect, I also crave connection and feel like it can be found with these more longform blog posts.
I honestly feel like I need to rethink my writing process? I've tried a bunch of different things, with mixed results, but what's really lacking is something that I'll stick to without wanting to start again from scratch, haha.
ooh yeah i think the best process is whatever keeps you going! and thank you so much for reading, i hope something in here is helpful lol! good luck with your writing š
When you showed me your process, I was so inspired to try something new, and something that comes naturally to me. Excited to try it out for something I outlined š
loads of wisdom here! i love the diary idea to help understand what's jamming me up at the top of each writing session. and a scene by scene doc sounds like something to try. ahh thank you always for sharing your brain š¤š¤
a diary is SUCH a smart idea. love this idea that you can look back and see patterns in why you think certain things! thank you for sharing your process with us!!
