Guys! assalamu alaikum. 
          	
          	Quick question, would it be better if I try to perfect every chapter and get all my character building and plot lines. Or should I just focus on getting the story out now (as a rough first draft) and perfect it later in the second and third draft? Which will allow me to have more rapid chapters? 
          	
          	
          	I am currently trying the first, which is why I stop between chapters, trying to outline them in detail before writing them, to ensure I get all the beats and plot points in place.

@PearlandIvory_ Also, when are you going to update The Guy in The Leather Jacket??

@PearlandIvory_ Wa alaikum assalam. I guess it depends on what you want to perfect. If it's getting the beats and plot points right, I think it's better to take it slow like you already are, so you don't have problems with the story structure after you finish the first draft.

@PearlandIvory_ Walekum assalam 
          	  Though I myself am not a writer, but as you said, the plot's been in your mind for years, so the first strategy (though slow) will be better. Re-drafting chapters (I think) can be a major source of writer's block... 
          	  Or you can experiment on us (I'm fine with that, not sure of others tho ;D)

Hi, hello!
          
          Sorry for posting on the board without asking first  , just wanted to quickly share my stories here in case anyone’s interested.
          ( Beginner/Young writer probs yk ) 
          
          
           Scripted by Destiny (completed)
          Tropes: enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, office romance.
          A classic trope-based romance with banter, clashes, and slow emotional shifts.
          
           Imperfectly Perfect (almost completed)
          Tropes: lawyer × doctor, single parent, marriage of convenience.
          More grounded and emotional, focusing on imperfect characters and gradual bonding.
          
           In His Shadows (new story)
          Tropes: protector × protected, reverse trope, class difference.
          A quieter, intense setup with power dynamics and slow tension.

الله يُعوِّض..
          يعوض لدرجة تجعلك تخشى أن تكون مقصرًا في حقه، في حمده وفي شكره، يعوض لدرجة تجعلك تفكر كيف حزنت من قبل علي ما خسرته وعلي ما لم تحصل عليه؟ 
          
          ستكتشف أن كل الأبواب التي قُفِلت في وجهك قفلت لتُفتح لك ابواب أفضل بكثير منها، ستُدرك أن كل شيء حُرمت منه رُحِمت من شره وأن كل ما لم تحصل عليه عوضك الله خيرًا منه، إن عوض الله إذا حل أنساك ما فقدت!❤️

We're half way through done with part Three of Unburned. 15 more chapters or so, and we'll start, part Four, which is the finale arc in the series insha'Allah!
          
          I really want everything to unfold beautifully :')
          
          
          Ehm... On another note, I lost the chapter I was working on Again :' ( I really don't know where I wrote it. I had worked on it and was 70% done, but now I just can't find it! It is not on wattpad or my Google docs or my personal notes T_T

Pathoos

@Pathoos it is the sequel. But they are both in the book Scarred (The Scarred Duology). In the future after editting I plan on publishing them separately.
