I think it’s a fabulous idea to do that, because then you’re (technically) writing the part you’re most inspired about!!! I don’t do it a lot with my WIP just because I’m still in the first draft and I really wanna make sure everything flow naturally from scene to scene, and everything connects… so I’m scared to mess that up by…[Read more]

Oh that’s so awesome! I once had a story idea about a seamstress in a fantasy as well, it sounds so fun to write! And it’s really cool that you decided to set it after WWII instead of in it, that’s a really interesting choice! What are your main characters like?[/quote]
