Writers

Lately I have been reading Justine Larbalestier's blog, and some of her posts about the writing process. It seems to help me when I am stuck in my writing to see how someone else approaches it. I know some writers start by creating outlines, and finalizing plot, and others jump from bit to bit until they can string their bits together. I prefer flying by the seat of my pants a bit more. Almost never do I really know what I'm going to write next. I find it hard to actually write the details and interesting things if I just need to get to the next bit of the plot. And speaking of plot, plot is certainly not my strongest point. The only way so far I've found that doesn't just end up being a story with very little issues that are very easily resolved by my characters is to really talk it out with someone else. Try to add up little ideas that seem cool and make them into an intriguing storyline that a reader might actually want to read about. This is sort of the end of my stream of thoughts. I hope to work more on my novel tomorrow. Goodbye for now.
