"To be fleshed out later" lol

But I want to get to all the juicy stuff around it

Placeholders are just fine! Just keep writing, writing, writing!

Yeah, maybe make some quick notes about what you want to happen during the battle?

I can figure it out later

Had to get to some of the dialogue between characters while I have it strongly in my head

Actually got skeletons for a few different scenes today

Do you think 50k will be enough to finish this book??

No lol

Especially because it's more like 6 books or something

I'm just writing stuff about these characters and plopping them generally in the right spots on the timeline

Will 300k be enough?

Hmm, not sure

At 50k per book?

I have been considering continuing on after nanowrimo

You should!

Because I think my current strategy is going well, of writing scenes that are strong in my mind

That is what makes a writer

And I can put them together at a later date and smooth things out

A writer is someone who sits down and, you know, does the thing with some degree of regularity

Also, I've only been writing on the "boy's side", basically, and I actually have a more in depth timeline for the girl's side of things

So I can switch over and work on that

I'm thinking when I'm done I could release each volume of each series at the same time, up until their series conjoin in the future

It's going to be so beautiful when it's finished

I hope so!

I know so

Aand setting up actual mafia/yakuza-like folks who think they're hilarious when they're kids trying to act like tough guys

Completed another day

You are on a roll!

That section will be fun to flesh out later

Basically focuses on the continuously cussing hyperactive volatile friend being super worried that other friend is missing

Ends with other friend realizing they spent all their money and risked their lives to get him free. He has real friends~

/starts sticking in chapter headings to separate all the parts he's written

yesssss

you've got this!

/cheers on~

I have index cards anyway

a very good tool

Need to print out some tabs and I can start organizing the parts I've written into, "Book 1" "Book 2", "Book 3", "Book ??"

Ohhh are you keeping physical copies of what you write?

Just for the timeline stuff

As I get more random bits written out I need to figure how to sort them

Need an easy way where I can figure, "OK, I'll move this scene over here"

Move them around as needed, especially since we're talking writing that will go into several different books

That makes sense. Not everything is easier digitally

Yeah, I was looking for programs but I think this might work better

I use ywriter7 for that kind of thing. It's free.

If this doesn't work out I may try it

I'd kind of like something where I could write a piece, have it sort of be it's own thing on a timeline, and easy to move around, but also I can just view the story as a whole with everything placed in order :|a

Not sure if something like that exists though

I think I remember ywriter or at least a version of it about 10 years ago. There was a learning curve. But hopefully it's useful!

Aaand done
