RE: Planning to fill plot holes in your novel
I have such a difficult time with this in my writing. Your explanation seems like at least a slightly less painful way to do it. Ill try it out, thanks! Following!
Hi @wylde, some people seem able to do this sort of thing 'on the fly', but I've always has to sit down and work it all out. In fact, I don't see how you can include all this sort of stuff in your novel unless you do plan it out - all the strands just get too complicated otherwise. Other people are able to splurge a first draft and then 'fix' all this stuff afterwards, but I find I lose the big picture if try that.
Of course, have made detailed plans, it doesn't mean I don't stray from the plan or have good ideas to add in later or anything, or get pulled in a certain direction by my characters, but at least I know where I am headed and where I strayed from the plan.
I'll blog about more of this sort of stuff in the next few posts.
Good luck. Nick
