…tightly, had vaguer ideas up until the event that signals the end of the first act, and then I figured I'd be pantsing it from there on out. I didn't realize at the time how bad I am at pantsing.)
Anyway, my strategy has been to just keep on going forward. Write what I can, outline what needs it, and generally see what characters feel like doing in reaction to that first-act-ending event. Have the story continue growing from the ground I laid before. 2/2

#WritersCoffeeClub day 24: What’s your greatest challenge in fleshing out your setting? Ensuring that *every* *little* *detail* is right. Like, making sure not to have anyone go to a restaurant that didn't open until a couple of months later, or that did close a couple of months earlier. Making sure I don't accidentally say it was foggy on a night that historically was clear and warm. That sort of thing. 1/4
