It\u2019s going quite well and it turns out that some of the freewriting material that I included is quite useful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you may remember from my <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/?s=Nevada+McPherson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">earlier posts<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I adapted one of my screenplays and found myself with many more words left to go to meet my word count of 50,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>When the mood struck me<\/strong>, I would freewrite to see what that yielded, and some of it was quite good.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never underestimate the power of freewriting!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that I\u2019m revising, I\u2019ve taken some of those portions out and added others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>As you likely know, freewriting helps to break through the inertia of staring at a blank page or screen, and it served its purpose in propelling me forward.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another aspect of freewriting is called \u201clooping,\u201d where you freewrite and then take what you can from that, and freewrite again to see what that yields, and go on from there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I believe what\u2019s happening now with my novel is a variation on looping<\/strong>, where I\u2019m into the next stage of discovering what I can build on that is useful from what I\u2019ve already written.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s been quite a while since I worked on a writing project of this length. I\u2019m discovering new processes that I look forward to using again for my next screenplay adaptation\/ novel, and yes, for my next NaNoWriMo project.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Screenplays on the horizon<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I can see some possible new screenplays on the horizon as well<\/strong>, especially when I\u2019m out for walks with my Chihuahua Mitzi. So as I develop those ideas I\u2019ll make an outline, some character sketches, and then start freewriting all over again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference between doing this for a screenplay versus using freewriting for a novel is that in the screenwriting scenario I\u2019ll use it to help me to bring characters and storylines into sharper focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For the novel<\/strong>, more of what the freewriting generates will likely remain in the final draft. Not raw and unadulterated of course, but the most relevant and illuminating parts that I can shape around the bones of the story to flesh it out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sheer brevity and economy of the screenplay form makes it quite different from the novel where one can more freely include background material, memories, thoughts and interior monologues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>So much to do, and the summer flies by so fast!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope we can all slow it down this season, to savor the best things and create our best work, ready to launch it this fall and unleash it on the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream big\u2014and don\u2019t forget to have fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Happy writing!<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nevada-mcpherson.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"http:\/\/www.nevada-mcpherson.com\/ noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-21722\" title=\"Nevada McPherson\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190402_161044_HDR-204x300.jpg\" alt=\"Nevada McPherson\" width=\"150\" height=\"220\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190402_161044_HDR-204x300.jpg 204w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190402_161044_HDR-640x941.jpg 640w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190402_161044_HDR.jpg 647w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Originally from Georgia, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nevada-mcpherson.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nevada McPherson<\/a> lived in uptown New Orleans for many years and now lives with her husband Bill and rescue Chihuahua, Mitzi in Milledgeville, GA where she is a professor of Humanities at Georgia Military College.
