Featured story of the Month for January 2009: Life According to Baylee
honey:
haha that's me. I'm pretty anal about outlining. I usually know exactly what happens in which chapter. The only I'm ever wrong, is when a chapter turns out to be longer than I thought it would be and I end up splitting it.
Chaos:
I always outline before I start, but erm...I have this horrible habit of not sticking to it. I can crank out chapters a lot faster when I force myself to stick to "the plan" but I find when I'm writing, I end up going in a direction I didn't initially think of but that I like better and inevitably it has a ripple effect that causes me to have to change things later in the fic, too...
Or worse, in the case(s) of many of my older unfinished fics that I'm now finally starting to work on again--I had complete outlines, but I've erm...misplace d them, and don't really remember exactly where some of them were going...lol.
mare:
I have never outlined a thing. lol I always fly blind. I mean I know where i'm going but not exactly sure how long it will take me to get there.
Kristal i'm curious, how do you picture Baylee older? Still all curly and smaller than normal? What is his age in your story and give us a quick little description of what he looks like.
alota_cookin:
Baylee is 15, in the story.
He is still a blonde mass of curls, he even describes his hair as 'the same haircut I've had all my life'. I don't believe I have ever mentioned his exact height...but he's fairly tall. He plays basketball, football, and runs every morning with his best friend...so he has that skinny, yet muscular, kind of build.
mare:
It's weird trying to picture Baylee that old. lol I just see that small kid's head on a teenagers body.
Guys there's only one more week left to feature this one, so if anyone has any questions for Kristal, now's the time!
How about I pose this to the LATB readers.
Tell us what your favorite scene of this story has been and why?
