I've never written like I'm writing right now. I have the whole plot mapped out. The idea/plot has been percolating for many months. I even put it on the back burner, literally forgot about it, re-found it, realized it had possibility and started working on it again. So I started writing it. Went for a walk on the beach and the innuendos, ins-and-outs came in that one hour time.
I knew what was going to happen so I was free to write the scene I felt like. I've written the very last scene, the in-betweens and now I just go through and fill in what is left out. It's an amazing way to write-it's how I write short pieces and usually how I wrote my newspaper columns. But the length required for a YA novel--I was incapable. Until now.
I gave the premise, peppered with written, unedited scenes to my two writing partners and they both gave nods of approval. Working hard.

I'm happy the writing is going well for you, Pat. It's fun to find a new way of doing things that works for you. Good luck with the rest!
