I’d never even considered how detrimental it might be to the writing process to send out chapters to early. I can see how that would happen.

Sending out pages too early can be detrimental, and God knows I’m guilty of hitting my crit partners with multiple drafts of a project. However, I just had to write a synopsis for an unwritten project for my agent (something I never thought I could do because I’m a pantser), and it’s weird knowing exactly where I want to send a project before I plunk down one word.

Yep, sometimes sending pages out early ruins my writing process. I’m trying it this time…my crit group started up again and I’m writing as we go. It’s been interesting, to say the least LOL One thing I do like is that it’s forcing me to get 10 pages a week done. We’ll see how it goes

I totally know what you are talking about – no matter how much I might have my story outlined before starting – I never really know how it will work out until I finish that first draft.

Too many cooks in the kitchen! I fully understand. Too much input too early on into a story’s development is a killer for me. Well put!
