Time off from school is very important to my characters. Maybe because I'm a teacher and I like that downtime as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118591194093113249.post-87258588608890863182010-08-27T15:44:58.293-07:002010-08-27T15:44:58.293-07:00I did the same thing when writing my first draft. ...I did the same thing when writing my first draft. I just totally ignored the days. Who has time for such trivial details when we've got crazy characters dragging us around? Now that I know the story and am in the rewriting phase, I kept up with an easy solution! I took my calendar and wrote the major events of the novel on it, so now as I work with scenes I try to slyly fit in how many days have gone by since the last scene. My WIP is an adventure story, so its really important for me to keep track.Dayana Stockdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732725838165251900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118591194093113249.post-91591890908827517712010-08-25T16:56:13.486-07:002010-08-25T16:56:13.486-07:00So glad for the "time-less" company, gir...So glad for the "time-less" company, girls!

I've gotten to the point where I just barrel through my first draft and try to work out my issues with too many days in the week or too few hours in a day during revision.<br /><br />Good luck!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402266791214015301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118591194093113249.post-38848877488886330622010-08-25T14:13:36.204-07:002010-08-25T14:13:36.204-07:00I think writers all have their eccentricities.

Wouldn't be a problem but my characters end up pitifully underdressed. Thankfully it's all first draft stuff.
