| Am I qualified to talk
about the process of writing? Feh, who knows.
Here's the short-short version of my
writing/creative process:
- Muse smacks me upside the head with her
sledgehammer.
- I mull over idea (and headache) until I can get
to a computer or notepad and write things down.
- I write until I can't see straight.
- Keep writing until finished (taking breaks for
bathroom, sleep and sometimes work).
- Forget story for weeks and weeks.
- Finally pull it out and look at it again.
- Forget it again for weeks and weeks.
- Think, Hey, shouldn't I edit that story I
wrote last month? Decide not to because muse has smacked
me with her sledgehammer again and I start over at step one with a
new story.
I'm sure this is bound to change as a result of
Clarion. When the change is more than a post-Clairon reflex, I'll
let you know what's different.
