I’ve only written the first couple of scenes, and I’m already at a point where I’m a little undecided about which way to go.
I have the words ready to go to start toward the next scene, but I’m not sure what to do once I get there.
So do I pause here and outline out what happens next? Wait to write more till I know what’s going to happen? Or just let the words flow, and find out what happens as I write it?
The latter instinct terrifies me. The former path makes me worry I’ll spend too much time plotting, and not enough time writing.
I guess I can always go forward now, and fix any mistakes later. It just feels like a wrong turn this early could force a lot of extra rewriting later.
