Temptation

  My eyes are wandering…

I’m plugging my way through my plan for MyNoWriMo in July, working on my synopsis – but oh man, another system has caught my wandering eye, and I may switch to that. I just learned about the Randy Ingermanson’s Snowflake Method, and it really appeals to me. I’m tempted to stop what I’m doing and start snowflaking. But this wondering makes me doubt myself. Does it mean I’m just pretending I’m going to write, spending all my time planning and planning to plan and not actually doing any real writing? If I hadn’t finished two books already (one of which is published, but it’s nonfiction so it’s a whole different beast), these doubts might overwhelm me. But I have finished those two books, so I will beat those doubts to death with a blunt quill and move on to deciding which system I will use. Heck, I’ve got a lot of time until July (or at least it seems that way from here *laughs hollowly*), so maybe I’ll work both, in parallel, somehow. So – will I snowflake, or will I road map, or both? This inquiring mind wants to know. I’ll keep my breathless audience posted on my decision.
