I love traveling for one primary reason: I get a lot of crap done. As you can see from the picture below, I’m ready for NaNoWriMo. After 3+ hours from Vegas to Atlanta, I was able to outline my next story.
While it’s not super detailed, I feel pretty good about the direction I’m headed with this.
So how will I use the outline? On November 1, I’ll start sprinting–following the general path of my “outline” as long as it makes sense. As soon as I see the story veer of the outline, I’ll stop and rework it. This approach may not work for every writer, but for me, plantsing is the most fun and comfortable approach. And if I’m not having fun writing, I may as well go take some leaves. 😉
Happy writing!
