Sorahana I recently bought a book about the snow flake method that incorporates both types of writing, outlining and basically pure organic free writing

    redlady it's necessary to know possibly how long your book is going to be but if you're one hundred percent just being organic about it probably not. I'm just trying to plot mine out, even if there's more than one book within my book. It could also help to know word count for each chapter, to keep it consistent.

        Sapphire_Ace Actually I am counting the words per chapter.But I felt that knowing for sure how many chapters is to much to handle.Do you think is ok to have around 1500-2000 words a chapter ?How many words has your chapter ?
        I hope I don't pester you.I just enjoy writing to you ! 😀

            redlady considering this is a web novel we should strive for shorter chapters but it absolutely depends on the type of story you are writing. I honestly think 1500-2000 is a good amount of words. I've done less regrettably.

              Sapphire_Ace before I begin writing a chapter I scramble down what I need to include in that chapter. So it goes like this: dialogue, narration about facility, certain interactions, writing down lines that I want used, and just ideas that can be implemented.

              Keep in mind this is the day before I write the next chap so right after I’m finished writing one. And then I’ll try visualizing these things. The thing about writing is to immerse your readers into the story vividly and if you can’t visualize it something is missing.

              This is my process for making new chapters and it takes around two hours or so to make the chapter. More if I’m being repeatedly distracted. And when I’m in the zone like fully focused, ideas streaming in my mind and I know I want this then maybe just 45- 1 1/2 hours.

                  Eros_Lord thank you for your input. I'm trying to find a midway between outlining and making the chapter happen organically so I have fun writing instead of being miserable through the drudgery.

                      Sapphire_Ace I love the way you talk it comes across so ”Englishman the 1800s” also your books are peakkk (they’re good)

                          Even though I've only started writing recently, I've been doing on a regular basis as well😶
                          I write about 1.5k words daily👀

                            You guys trying youre best to have as many words in your chapter at once while me having less than 1000 words are unnecessary.Guess I need to increase my words per chapter

                              Bloom07 well you probably don't have the same difficult life circumstances as me but good for you?
