And today I’m sharing an interesting guest article I stumbled across while perusing author Kristen Lamb‘s Blog, written by guest author/ teacher Dr. John Yeoman,  “Can’t keep up? 7 brilliant ways to finish your story.”  (https://warriorwriters.wordpress.com/2016/04/15/cant-keep-up-7-brilliant-ways-to-finish-your-story/….

I especially liked the tips on using cards. Another author recommended using them to write chapter summaries, however much could fit on one side only. that way, it’s succint and organized in a manageable way. I tried it for my my first eight chapters, and it’s a good idea.
And I can always take out and re-shuffle them if I need to.

Thanks, that’s not duh advice. It’s eminently practical. I once talked with a lady who was an Olympic gold medalist. “It was very easy,” she said. “I just had to practice on the track for three hours. For twenty years. Every day of my life.” A sobering thought!

It might be “duh!” advice to most, but it has turned my scrap-paper writing habit into a consistent visit to the same world and characters.
I still write on folded bits of paper, but now I copy them later onto loose-leaf sheets and file them into my WIP binder where they fit best. The task of copying my scraps is always good warmup to get my head back in the story.
Thanks for adding to my options; there’s a lot of great advice here!
