In reply to Lena Corazon (@LenaCorazon).

Thank you, so am I. They are a great group of people, and the other authors have been very supportive. They all work really hard to promote one another. You sound similar to me with my current WIP. As important as plotting and outlining are – and I’m learning how to do them better – I still have to write and get into the book to see those problems. And YES, love the Scrivener cards. Glad you’re seeing that light:)

Stacy, I’m still over the moon over your contract with Muse. I definitely understand your frustrations with plotting, however. I *thought* I had things down with my WIP, but spent most of this round tweaking things that I didn’t have done. I’m still rearranging those Scrivener cards (one of my favorite functions), but I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 😀

Great round!

Thanks, Julie. I definitely had to do a lot of tweaking, and that’s okay. The writing process is always evolving, and I agree, that’s one of the best things about Row80.

Thanks!

Sounds like a good round to me! Oftentimes, I find myself having to tweak my goals during the round as things change (like they did for you with THE PROPHET). Of course, that’s one of the beautiful things about ROW80. You made a lot of progress, focused on your goals, and your INTO THE DARK news is fabulous! See you in Round 2, Stacy.

In reply to Natalie Hartford. Thanks, Natalie. I think the frustrating thing with the plotting was that I did quite a bit beforehand, but it still wasn't enough. Oh well. I'm still learning! Thanks so much for the encouragement! I'm sure it will be a while, but I'm really looking forward to sharing the cover!

Congrats! Exercise is one of those things that is so hard to start, but then you love it and hate missing it!

Ahhhmazing round Stacy. I think you KILLED it!! I know you ran into some plotting issues that might have slowed you down but I also think you’ve probably learned some valuable things that will only come to serve you in the future. I can’t WAIT for the release of your book. Take a deep breath and try to enjoy each moment!
Here’s to your ROW80 ROCKING round! Woot woot!

In reply to Gina. Thank you! Yes, the plotting stuff has been giving me a headache, but I hope I'm close to getting it all fixed.

wow – congrats on the contract! what stellar news 🙂
exercising can be so tricky – and no one likes plotting problems. but you had a productive round, and can still forge ahead on what didn’t work out.
cheers!
