Benji Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Okay, this is for those who have been writing a story and, for one reason or another, have put it aside for a long time. How do you reapproach that story in the future if you decide to come back to it? ken barber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfhighlander Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Good question Benji. I have a story or two sitting around that I had started and because of the writing I've been doing in the RU for the last year, they've been sort of sitting on the side at the moment. I just looked at one of them to see about getting going on it. I pulled out the pages of notes and maps and reread the story so that I can get back into the storyline to write. However, due to work and other things, including more RU stuff, I haven't been able to do anything more than adding to what I've already written. Just sort of cleaning it up, getting ready to get back into writing that story. I still know where I want to go, I just have to get going. But that is the way I get back to something that was set aside for some reason or other. I go back and reread what I have written, look through the notes and all that and then when I've got a good feel for it again, start working on it. ken barber and D'Artagnon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken barber Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Same thing here. I reread everything I have. Try to get back into the Characters heads and if I can I pick up where I left off. Some stories I have set aside I can't ever seem to get going again. But it doesnt hurt to try every so often. I have about 6 really good starts that I come back to and look at and try to write but most I only get a paragraph or two out at a time.

Benji Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Great tip, guys. I have decided currently I am going to write out a document with as much information about that characters personality as I can recall since I neglected to write down that information earlier. Then I will go back and read through the other notes on where I want the story to go which sometimes seem woefully vague. And read back through what I have of the story so far. Anyone else have any input? ken barber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
