I'm very glad to hear this will help you with your writing, and I very much hope you'll pull through well. You're a great writer(and no doubt rider, too) so we all know you'll come through! Taylor - I'm glad this could help you out. And, I will be sure to look at your story as soon as I have time, but at the moment, I'm pretty strapped for it! ;) Madelaina – Thank you very much!

I also wrote the story, The Spotless King, in the Loft, so check it out. It's not great, but that's a short work of art. ;;) Lol, it's not that great, but hey, it's about my Indy!

Second of all, your problem is not an uncommon one. There are many ways to write something. Some writers are very, strictly organized about what they write. Some make things up as they go along. I myself am not very fond of outlines, so I usually would just jot down main events or little things to remember on a piece of paper, and refer to that if I lose my place. But it is different for almost every writer. One of the reasons writing is such a personal things for creative people is that there is complete freedom. No two writers do the writing process in the same manner, so embrace your unique-ness. To me, though, it sounds like you quite like making things up as you go, and you know what's going on in your head(unlike me-I'm a scatter brain!) and seem to be very comfortable with writing the way you do! Embrace the fact that this works for you, because in the end all writers end up with words on paper or a computer, no matter how they came to be! So yes, it is certainly okay to make things up as you go, afterall it is your writing, and people who have a problem with it? Psh. Tell them that it works for you. Although, if you do have any really big doubts about how well it works for you beyond just what other people think(not that you have expressed any big doubts at all, Lauren!), then it might help to try outlining, or just writing main events down somewhere, or any other method you can think of. And if it doesn't work? Be comfortable in knowing that you only confirmed that making things up as you go works best for you, because in the end it's always best to be confident of what you are doing. Hope I helped you out! Good luck with all your writing, and have a good canter! -Halee Lauren- First of all, thank you for reading my tips, and I’m glad you can use them!

I now feel more confidence building up when I'm writing a story or blog when using these tips. Here is a question for you (Do you think its okay when writing a story to make up stuff as you go?) Becuase a lt of people I know make a plan or outline (on paper) when I just make a plan in my head. Then if i tell some people that I do that they think, "Oh, thats not a good writer, she has no clue what she's doing with the story." But when my stories are finished they come out (not to brag or anything) flawless. Of course, I do proof read it and I do make a plan and a little checklist, but its all in my head. Well, I'm going to go canter over to the grassy part of the meadow and do some grazing ;). Hope you can answr my question and thanks for making this awesome advice :-h!
