Therefore, as I have often mentioned here scriptural, but I am a tracer a little devotee, I did not start that way. When I started writing, the idea of ​​my novel describing advance gave me hives. I thought it would be boring and take the pleasure of writing, and I firmly stuck to this belief until I gave a test plot.

Unexpectedly, tracing out to be a very effective method for me. I learned route in advance allowed me to write faster and helped eliminate most of my writers block, which proves to be actually "do not know where to go from here" block.

Although I necessarily take 100% to my outline when writing (as I've said, I use more guidelines than rules pounds), now I do not start writing until I am fully plotted the idea of ​​the book. It was an effective method for me so far.

That said! I am more than that tracing does not work for everyone, or sometimes only works half the time, or only works up to a point for some. And if there is something to write with the intention of publishing a decade now taught me, it is the process of each is different. And sometimes the process of a person is different book to book. And that's okay
