Chapter Planning

 This week has been really great! I've gotten almost an entire chapter written in my book! I started the chapter on Monday, just writing down what I had in my head. However, as the hours flew by, and I had hardly anything to show for my work, I realized how vital it is to actually plan out the entire chapter before beginning to write. So I wrote down a couple of ideas for the chapter, then started the next day on it. And, I was delighted to see how easy the dialogue and description flowed from my head onto the paper. It seriously helps to have a plan, and I'm super happy to have gotten past a scene that I had been stuck on for a long time.
