Sometimes, the characters are just demanding that I start the book first and then worry about the details later. ;)<br /><br />Hi, Devon! Thanks for stopping by! I've actually done that before too, but I'm trying to get better about the pre-planning. It saves so much time in the long run.

The trick is not to overdo the prep, or my subconscious thinks I already wrote the book!<br /><br />Sometimes I like to write three or four chapters in, and then sit down and do the outline.Devon Ellingtonhttp://devonellington.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28436164.post-745351656106334862012-08-18T08:43:18.214+07:002012-08-18T08:43:18.214+07:00A timely post for me as I'm experimenting with...A timely post for me as I'm experimenting with what works for me---do I restrict myself with plotting or does plotting structure help me stay focused? <br /><br />Thanks for sharing what worked and didn't work for you.Julie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242380140265459688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28436164.post-54674287261113671302012-08-15T07:38:47.988+07:002012-08-15T07:38:47.988+07:00Hi, stalker buddy!

We pantsers have to stick together. :)<br /><br />Thanks for coming by Joanie! Finding my characters really worked for me with these books. I hope you do give it a try. I'd love to hear how it worked for you.<br /><br />Hi, Liese! Thanks for coming by! I agree - sometimes the story needs to marinate in the brain before it starts to jell.Michelle Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442813530538808627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28436164.post-45445778089181334642012-08-14T20:08:13.224+07:002012-08-14T20:08:13.224+07:00I find it fascinating how different writers write....I find it fascinating how different writers write. I doubt seriously that two ever do it exactly the same way--or even from book to book. Some books come completely laid out--others have to "rest" a while before the whole comes together.<br /><br />Great blog and great books!Liesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966381021139898743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28436164.post-13894511715552470782012-08-13T20:55:36.040+07:002012-08-13T20:55:36.040+07:00Okay, I admit it, I love to plot.

I also know a story has an opening hook, stuff in the middle, big black moment, and tadah--happily every after because I write romance too. It seems to work even though I have to tweak A LOT! oxoxoxoVicki Batman, sassy writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846704675542248648noreply@blogger.com
