Okay, so, I messed up. Bad. Or kind of bad?
I realized my pacing was WAY off, and I somehow lost sight of my premise while writing this first draft. So, this will be a vlog of me realizing the problems and trying to correct them before NaNoWriMo starts. 😅
I hope you enjoy the vlog!

Writing a blurb always helps me figure out what needs to be in the fun and games to meet the promise of the premise. It’s really helped me as part of my outline process

It's the first draft, they almost always go off on a tangent, well, mine do! I'm excited for you with your new PNR series, and pleased you are steaming ahead with book 2. You'll get there as you are so determined!

It's so nice seeing you being able to balance work with your creative pursuits! You're doing an incredible job!! Also, your curls at the beginning were magnifico!

@NataliaLeigh 9 ай бұрын

Thank you! The balance is definitely a challenge, but I do my best. 😊 And I just braided my hair overnight, and BAM! Love that hairstyle!

Interesting series of decisions, I honestly didn't know which way you were gonna go. I might have gone the other way thinking about those circumstances, but then you get this energy by the end of the vlog, so I do think you made the right call because you look motivated. You got this, Natalia. Cheers!

Sounds like you're a pantser & fighting it. Good luck with the conflict! We all battle that one (pun intended)! Love your vlogs!

2500 words! You listened to your pantser heart and just went with it! Congratulations!

I feel like you're trying to entice me over to the dark side. 🤣

I find it kinda funny you saying you have a problem with conflict in your stories because I have the exact opposite: I put too much in and have to add "calmer" and happier scenes between after otherwise my pace is totally unbalanced!

@cadenst.claire6211 9 ай бұрын

I'd go ahead and write Book Three - you may gain some insight on things Book Two needs in order for everything to mesh!

Oh, I also have a hard time putting conflict in my stories! It is something that I have always struggled with. And if I have conflict I struggle to make it slowly unwind and not just have one step to remove to obstacles. I have never understood the concept of torturing your characters.
