Writer Question - Tumblr Posts

Take my advice with a grain of salt but it is really important to figure out your overall plot before you really start writing cause sometimes a scene looks better in chapter 5 then right at the beginning like you originally thought.

As Chapter 7 is approaching completion, I was curious to know from those of you who write (IF or just regular novels) what type of writer you are.

One of the biggest tips most IF writers get told is to plan for stuff because there are tons of paths to keep track of and it can be easy to digress and get caught in plotholes.

A fun fact for those who were wondering, at least 90% of Crown of Exile is written on the fly. My plans consist of chapter outlines that are almost always ignored and honestly, nothing but the major plot is planned (in my head because who needs to write it down?).

This is just for the sake of my curiosity because it feels weird being 400K words into the game without having details of chapters planned out 😅
