@Heather225 How did you draft your concept stages? I just have a brain filled with many intricate ideas. Thank you for sharing πŸ™πŸ»πŸ’•

spilling everything onto google docsΒ πŸ˜‚ lots of talking to people too, working out ideas and bouncing them off people. gradually i started to create outlines. i am still a waaaaaay ways off from a cohesive outline but it helps to kind of create visuals as well, or visualizing a timeline. my process is messy but such is the mind of an ADHD writer

@Heather225 Omg visual representation and a timeline sounds so good!! Kinda now want to put everything on a pin board with strings to places!! Messy is good.. messy is creativity after all πŸ₯°πŸ™πŸ»πŸ’•

@Victoriaiscute Did you just start one day? πŸ‘€ just go? 😬 Maybe asking others to chip in to give you ideas for the next stage could help lift the writer’s block? πŸ™πŸ»

Well, for me, I really think on the spot so if I start to have an idea or have something that I want to add to my book or whatever I'm writing, I usually voice record it and just say it out loud and even saying out loud, I can I guess somewhat edit myself so if I say one thing, but I wanted to add something else I could and I don't know it's just very on the spot and I don't lose track of what I really wanted to write or what I was thinking about and I keep the idea going. Hope this helpsπŸ™‚
