A scene comes to me and I write it no matter if it goes in the middle of the book and I'm working toward the beginning. I sometimes write out of order like that and then shuffle the scenes around, like putting a jigsaw puzzle together. I hope you hear great news from your submission! :-)Vonda Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05248984087135865252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-1130177166707852822005-10-24T14:06:00.000-04:002005-10-24T14:06:00.000-04:00Ugh.

Except, I must write in a very linear fashion because when I did my latest revisions (you know the ones I'm talking about!) the only scenes I could remove without totally screwing up the plot, were the love scenes! Which, in itself, is a lesson, right? Love scenes need to have just as much GMC as any other scene....certainly more than just satisfying the sexual tension. In my 2nd ms, I tried making a GMC chart for each scene to ensure the scene was absolutely necessary. Not sure how successful it was...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
