Day 30 Assignment 23 Part 1: You Are How You Look

In this one you revisit Assignment 10 and re evaluate what you wrote. Did you characters have new features that were "discovered"?
The assignment is to take each feature that was described and to write what that says about your character's personality or disposition.

For example:
Calloused Fingers: Plays Guitar, Plays often and for long periods of time, probably enjoys it, most likely has gotten pretty good at sight-reading or playing by ear, has a sense for beat and rhythm, stubborn, determined, doesn't like to fail, hates to lose, doesn't admit defeat easily.

You can kind of see what I'm saying.

So can I just say this feels like a step backwards. I was always taught to create a timeline and an outline (sometimes the outline was first) then to create a rough draft, then you go through you fix all the kinks and fix the flow. Then you pay attention to what makes is plausible and human reactions meaning would someone really react like this? Second draft-more editing and fixing up. Then possibly a third and fourth draft, but eventually you have a final draft....I don't get this whole do all this running around work before you even start writing a rough draft....
It's a different way to approach writing a novel, but I wish this assignment had been by assignment ten. Actually I wish all the assignments that had to do with each other had been put either in the same one or next to each other. It feels like I start to make progress and then turn around and go back to the beginning. I'm really starting to get tired of this method.
