Writing during lunch

[ksmith]

It doesn't matter how long or how deeply I ponder a plot, how many scenes I work out in my head. It isn't until I start writing the scenes that things start snapping into place. Working out the dialogue, the emotions.

One whole subplot dropped into my lap today. I didn't expect it, but it makes sense, considering. What I'm trying not to think about is the fact that this book will likely follow the way of the others and CHANGE IN WAYS INCONCEIVABLE TO ME NOW, but I guess that's something I have to live with.

I wrote my spell. I likes my spell.

Now, off to slay some weeds...

This is how some writers work. Others can develop an outline, consciously inserting each step and twist, until in the end they have the story. That process is as alien to be as mathematics.
