More Writing Process

Thought you might enjoy seeing a bit more of my writing process.  I am writing a novel, currently 2/3 finished.  I make notes, on little sheets of paper--a reminder to include or to continue certain thoughts.  As I focus on the actual writing, I refer occasionally to remind myself of the points listed. This helps with a continuity and the flow of the book.   I continually re-write the list as I cross off ideas, think of new points or want to make sure that I connect my points.  (How many of us have watched movies or read books that were choppy, did not solve certain issues or left details hanging?)


I also have a map handy.  I hand scribe a map of the location that is in my head.  It helps keep my details straight.

I bet you thought I just sat at the computer and typed!  :)

  3. Lol. For my art, I also have pages flying all over the place for each project. I am more of a visual person.
