I'm choosing to define 'making stuff up' as 'research'

5/5
I don't have any #writeblr friends to tag, but anyone creating a story with OCs are invited to reblog and continue the chain.
My questions:
What is your greatest regret?
What does happiness look like?
What do YOU think happens when you die?
3/5
THE ULTIMATE BATTLE: MAN (AND?) BEAR – WHICH WOULD YOU FIGHT AND WHICH WOULD YOU HAVE AT YOUR BACK?
Scipio: Never turn your back on a bear, that’s suicide.
Aedan: What if the man you’re fighting has trained to bear to attack when you face him and not the bear?
Scipio: As always, you overthink things, druid.
Aedan: It's a battle, one must always overthink.
Scipio: The enemy training a bear? That’s not even a situation, A-Dawn…

1/5 Got tagged by @madikonrad over at Tumblr for the 'Questions For Your OC'!! – answer 3 questions as your main OC(s) – since we’re #writers, we can write this as a narrative, first-person, or RPG style - anyway we wish.
When done, provide 3 new questions to pass on to the next creator. (you then tag others with 3 new questions)
My main OC’s are Aedan the Ancalite and Lucius Scipio Servius, and the following questions are from sapphic author, Madeline Konrad.
I didn't realise this was a thing, do people really think Mary Shelly wasn't the first SciFi author?

I have recently realized my work in progress will need a fairly major rewrite once it’s done. Because of how I’m writing it, it won’t be locked down as I produce text. My last project was done when it was done because it was episodic. This new project is a traditionally structured novel. I can see what I'm doing “wrong” as i go, but i need to produce a draft before i can go back, i think. Sigh.
How long are your #scenes
and why?
How do you give each scene an arc without making it seem completely separate from what's around it?
(I have ways of doing this, so I'm looking for discussion not advice.)
I recently tried to sign up for a ride-share service.
This is my story.
I reached one of those points recently where three chapters all came together at once. They're still rough, but it's this magic point where you've got all the pieces, so instead of generating more scenes, you're rearranging their order and sorting them into coherent chapters. It only happens every few months, but it's *so* satisfying.
What's your process like? One chapter at a time? All over the place? Assembling individual scenes?
