I drew Indie Pin-Up Girls for sketch card sets. I wanted to redraw the first two, and the last one was fan art for the various jungle girl card sets I did.

Heyhey! Do u have advice for how to finish a first draft? I can't really follow my outline and I don't know all the details yet but I know what will happen. But when I write it seems like the chapters don't connect and I keep chnanging my ideas and outline

Okay, listen to me. I’m gonna say something crazy, and you’re just going to have to trust me on this one. 

Just let it happen.

The thing about first drafts is, it doesn’t have to adhere to your initial ideas or outlining. First drafts are about getting to know your characters and letting them explore their world and their identities on their own terms. It’s not about you. It’s about letting them guide you on their journey. You have to let them trust you, and trust them to take you where you need to go. So there comes a point in a draft where you just have to throw out the outline and wing it. 

The second draft is where you piece together what works and what doesn’t, and where you need to tighten up the plot. Your first draft is allowed to be clunky, where your scenes don’t match up and nothing is consistent. You don’t need to have perfect transitions between chapters, or any transitions at all. (You think my first drafts of my current WIPs have consistency OR transitions? what are THOSE???) 

So don’t worry so much about keeping to your original plans. Just keep going. Get whatever parts of your story that need to be told at that time out of your head and onto the page. Just let it out, no matter if it’s out of order, or inconsistent, or unrelated to the previous scene.

All it’s really about is keeping the momentum going. So spend as much time with your WIP as possible, listen to your characters, and don’t second guess where they’re taking you. They will get you there. Half the fun is letting them do it, even if what you’re putting on the page is horribly written and a terrible reflection of how you picture it in your mind. Just get it down.
