It does seem like a backwards step at the time but in the long run it breaks down weeks and weeks of writer's block that can be created by the niggling worry that it's not right yet.

It made such a difference to the first part of the book that many scenes had to go or had to be re-written, people arrived at different times and so for me, I had to do it. I tend to write major scenes first then start chronologically, so I know where I'm going. It hasn't slowed me up at all, because there are new scenes to write in the first part - and neither do I discount the distinct possibility of changing it all again once it's all filled in, goodness no!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15142387581047725456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776622968684653113.post-84862927206074583032013-10-01T07:30:30.821-07:002013-10-01T07:30:30.821-07:00Could you not just make a note in the text (or els...Could you not just make a note in the text (or elsewhere) to the effect that you must move that bit, and then carry on, relentlessly forwards, as though you'd already moved it? Be a pity to lose the forward momentum; and for all you know, there may be other bits that need shifting around when you've finished, so you may have to do it a third time. Good luck, whatever you do.Whiskshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511717013005006342noreply@blogger.com
