How Do You Write Your Books? Do You Plan Everything Or You Just Start
How do you write your books? Do you plan everything or you just start
Usually, I plot that whole bad boy out before I even write a single word, but that tends to overwhelm me.
For my most current work in progress book, I had an aesthetic in mind, and five previous ideas squished into one. Then I just started writing. I merely emptied my brain to see what would happen. +50k words later… and here I am. I have a lot to go back and edit/clarify/redo, but I’m just aiming to get the whole skeleton finished first. In other words, I’m winging it. But so far, so good.
Something that has helped me was to write in parts, not chapters. I would write all I needed for one part, then label it as “pt.1.” That way, I wasn’t focusing on the length of the section—trying to fill it or shorten it like I would if it were a chapter. I just wrote it. Then, I would start the next section. This helps me keep the action going, giving me momentum to go from scene to scene without worrying about length. Later, when I edit, I will clump sections together, adjust the size, and then make those sections into chapters. I’ve found this to be strangely helpful so far.
Thank you for asking, dear. :)

Need some help understanding
Okay so in the show, Sheriff Stilinski’s name is Noah. Like it’s canonically Noah so I really need to know where the hell people are getting “John” from? Like why John of all things? Is it because you didn’t know his name? Because you could’ve just looked it up. And I’m not judging the people who use it (well not a lot) but like, Noah is such a better name than John and I feel like whenever I read a fic where his name is John, I picture him as a completely different person. Like it’s not the same character, he has a different personality, etc. like again no offense but could everyone please start using Noah? Like that’s his name, it’s never been John.
Okay just reiterating because I kinda got off track but why do people call him John?
