*It's a lot harder to write during a sprint when you're not sure where the story is going

At least, that's my case

Actually, the struggle isn't so much where it's going, but how it starts

Are you starting another story?

No, this is the same one. The issue is, however, that there's a main plot and a sub plot and I already have all of the main plot figured out and I know how to end the sub plot but I don't know how to get the ball rolling

Start it off with a battle

Lol

XD

Best way I could think of

The issue isn't so much that I don't know what happens, but how much of it I should tell and how the PoV characters reacts to it all

I could write a history book about with no characters reacting to what happens and it would be fine but I don't want it to be a history book

Omg

That's how I think of it too

The lore is easy

The actual writing of the characters

Yay! I'm not alone!

I think a lot of people are similar with that

Probably, I just haven't really experienced it yet

True lol

What I think I might do is write the scenes that I have down pat as far as how the character reacts to what's going on and then I'll write backwards from there

And adjust it as necessary

Sounds interesting

I kinda do that

Often times, I had just individual scenes come to me, very vividly, and I just write them down

down the line, I fit them to the inherent timeline like a puzzle

Isn't there a website that helps you do that?

make a timeline?

or make a character?

Well it helps you connect timelines, lore, items, magic

characters even

I found character templates and I used them for a few characters; the timeline, if I do write it, I do it in word as dates and events in a list

Yeah, get's annoying to organize it though.

very, that's why I usually keep it in my head

Sometimes I forget about things though

What sort of novel are you writing? 🤔

fantasy

what are YOU writing?
