“I try not to think too much about my writing process – I tend to feel my way forward and find more insights that way.” -Nick Petrie
Here’s a good quote. This one encourages me. I’m laughing at myself because some of these quotes will really have me spiraling for no reason. I have definitely felt my way through the writing process. In one of my recent blog posts, I spoke about outlining and that I’ll utilize it more in the future. When you write one thing for three years, it’s easy to forget the things you do to keep moving forward. I have definitely utilized outlines while writing this book! I don’t know how I forgot. When I get too far out in the weeds or dig deep into a scene and have to return to the story as a whole, that’s when I use my outlines. I don’t use them consistently and abide by the outline, but I do use them as a tool.
This makes me think of the two quotes I always have to remind myself:
“You’re doing better than you think.” and “There’s always room to learn.”
