The story is much more clear and easier to write. I still stray from my notes when my characters see fit, but I love having a guide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857775826978446187.post-7889591145160909972011-04-26T10:24:24.311-07:002011-04-26T10:24:24.311-07:00Interesting.

Even though I'm more like you - I normally just start writing and hope the characters take me in the general direction that I want to go.

When I stumbled across this method on the Internet, it was primarily for writing a mystery ( which I'm also in the middle of), but I've found that it's really helpful no matter what genre you're writing in. However...umm...I'm more like you...just start writing and see where my characters take me...since they usually don't want to do what I want them to!Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371767512022913349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857775826978446187.post-30372151485784957652011-04-26T07:32:47.563-07:002011-04-26T07:32:47.563-07:00Thanks, Daniel, and a Happy (belated) Easter to yo...Thanks, Daniel, and a Happy (belated) Easter to you, also! "Painting Tips and Tricks"...does that mean you are an artist? I am too, taught art for 20 + years, and still love it, although now I'm concentrating on being a writer.Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371767512022913349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857775826978446187.post-17825635808090927422011-04-26T05:51:17.487-07:002011-04-26T05:51:17.487-07:00Wow, that's really awesome that you had your f...Wow, that's really awesome that you had your first poem published at age 10 and you are still going at it strong! And you've been to 9 foreign states. Sounds like you've had quite a life so far!<br />Your outlining method is exactly how I do it, IF I do outline. Most times I just charge right through with no outline in mind. A lot of times I start with the title and build the story from there.Allyn Stotzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125021589041199877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857775826978446187.post-44242933851391481972011-04-25T19:35:45.453-07:002011-04-25T19:35:45.453-07:00Your first poem published at age 10 is a real achi...Your first poem published at age 10 is a real achievement!
