I may try that--I have just been SO unmotivated lately. I think I am just worn out. I can't focus. I'm hoping when school starts and I have a few hours a week to myself, I'll get back in the swing. :) Actually, I do wind up doing forms before most of my projects. I'm going to set down and do those I think for my current WIP. Then maybe I will try the scene by scene thing. One suggestion she had at our meeting was in the beginning as you get used to the whole thing was to just do the scene by scene thing a few scenes ahead as you write the book. So, for instance, I am working on writing the first scene so I should have like the first five sketched out already. Lori The scene by scene appeals to me too.

I don't have time to do it exactly as she details it out but I am doing a scene by scene first draft using her method as my guide. I’m using a variation also.

As a result, writing on my WIP (when I find time to write) is going much, much quicker. I still recommend her book to everybody.

The most I've ever done is make a quick down and dirty list of major plot points I want to work in, but I rarely look at it and most of the time don't bother to write it out at all. I just write until I hit the end, then read through and find the weak spots. And go through again. It's tedious, and by the time I finish a project, I'm totally sick of it. :) But the one time I tried to outline everything, by the time I got to the writing stage, I was just as sick of the story and I didn't even want to write it. Guess I'll just keep plugging along the same old way. Hi Lori,

I find it a little tedious, when all I want to do is write, but it IS helpful. And I hope that when the forms are complete, really all I'll have to do is...write.
