I know the characters, their issues, and the world very well already. But I haven't started writing. No time! <br /><br />I know the query for TM will be difficult, that's why I'm starting now. I can't sum it up in a sentence, by January I need to have that ability.Liana Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587774916354749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329782430566577328.post-43963317781936219032010-05-19T10:50:56.845-04:002010-05-19T10:50:56.845-04:00My ideas never come out that well-formed when I fi...My ideas never come out that well-formed when I first get the spark of an idea. I'm amazed at both ideas. Mine generally come as a single thought, an inkling of an idea, etc. Then I have to sit and stew on it and do a lot of writing down of thoughts. Then I sit and look at it all in the light of a fresh day and start putting it together into something that's workable.<br /><br />I think though that using the original seeds of ideas to catch the essence of the story is definitely something worth considering.
