Método

My secret to reaching 50,000


I use the 13 step method... actually it's the 10 step method, but I like 13, so I changed it.. The 10 Step Method it's quite a popular method used by many professional best selling writers, not sure who invented it...

(...)

but here is my 13 Step version of it


Write down

Scene 1
Scene 2

etc, all the way to 13... these are your chapters, plan on having 13 of them

Think about your plot, in terms of 13 tiny stories, than write a title for each... now you have your 13 Chapter Titles

Your list should now read:

Chapter 1: "title here"
Chapter 2: "title here"

etc, all the way to Chapter 13


Now, go back to your list and add the actual scenes:


Chapter 1: The Title Here

scene 1
scene 2
scene 3
scene 4

etc, all the way to 13 scences.

Now go back and write one scentance to describe each scene of each chapter.

Once you have completed this, you well have a complete and detailed outline to take you step by step through your story... print it up and keep it on hand when you are writing, so that you can keep your story running smoothly from one scene to the next (though you can change anything in you outline that needs changes once you start writing... it's not a hard and fast law that you stick to the outline... the outline, just helps you to write faster, by keeping your original story idea where you can see it)


once you get going the actual writing, you plan on say, write 5 scenes a day... and you'll find that by useing the writing a scene at a time, rather than going for word count or page count, you well write more and write faster...

(...)

why does it work? because you are focused on your plot, not the word count, and when you stop thinking about the words, they just start flowing out of you with out you even realizing it

Tenho de tentar este método. Ando completamente Farta de Não Escrever.
Tenho de escrever Seja o que For só para me obrigar a escrever e sair desta letargia (sp?).
