Writing process - 06/05/11 02:26 PM
I'm fairly new to the MB and I'm wondering what other writers' writing process is - pre and post posting (gosh, that even sounded bad to my ears, I apologize). Let me try and clarify.
I didn't start posting Missing Lois to the MB until I had 8 Chapters written and completed and I saw the end in sight. But when I posted The Yodeler's Song, I waited until it was BR'd (Thanks again, Lynn) before posting.
Do you wait until your story is finished before you start posting? Do you write as you post? (especially when you know it going to have several parts to it?) Do you wait until you have a sizeable portion written and BR'd before you post?
The reason I ask is because now that I've finished writing my EPIC, I'm working on a shorter piece. Longer than my vignette about Perry, but shorter than Missing Lois (since it's hard to be longer). How many pages should I have in the tank before submitting it to a kind BR who will be willing to look at my work? Should I see the end in sight before posting or should I start posting before then?
So, to answer these questions (since I know each writer works differently), I pose them to you. What is your writing and posting process?
