The First Writing

 Hello future writers.

In this post I am going to explain my next step in the process of writing and which method I use with it.

After making an outline in my bullet journal, I opened Scrivener and wrote every scene summary outline in a new scene.

When I started writing I realised that the best method of writing a multiple plot book is one plot at a time. So I concentrated on the main plot of the murder case. 

I went through my "scenes" in my Scrivener and wrote the scenes that contained the main plot and when I felt like it I wrote a few words in the other scenes.

Now that I explained my process I can go into details. For example I had a scene where I knew a conversation was supposed to be but I didn't feel like writing it out, I wrote only a few sentences that must be in the conversation.

If there was a description I wrote only the basic stuff not concentrating on the words I used - that will have to wait.

If there was a scene that I needed to write out more or didn't know what was supposed to happen exactly I only wrote notes in the scene and skipped it.

It's a good thing to change the place of writing and so I often went to the center of my town and wrote in my notebook or laptop at our Singing fountain, a fountain that plays songs, and watched the people when I took a break.

After that, I looked over my "finished" scenes and added descriptions of places and character and conversation. Of course when you have 131 "scenes" it is hard to keep up where everything needs to be and so I created an excel document which I will explain in the next post.
