All fiction writers welcome at the Odyssey Salon tonight at 7:30 PM EDT to discuss writing. You can share your progress or struggles, ask a question, or weigh in on our discussion topic.

TOPIC: How Do You Draft?
*When drafting, do you have any particular process? Do you re-read previous pages? Dive in? Consult an outline?
*Do you create any documents or tools to guide you in writing the next few pages? Do you leave yourself a note for the next day?
*Do you draft quickly or slowly? Do you have a time or word goal? Do you visualize or act out the scene?
*Do you try to write a full draft of the day’s pages in one try, or do you make several passes over the pages layering in elements?
*Do you start from a blank page or do you expand your outline in multiple stages, adding scene elements until it becomes a scene?
*Based on feedback you receive, what element would you like to strengthen in drafting, and how might you go about that?
