| Prompt: Tell us about your writing process – do you like music or quiet, is there a special place you go to work, do you type from the beginning or write notes with a pen and paper first? ==== I have written so many entries on the very subject in this blog alone that when the question is asked about how, where, or when I write, I feel like gagging. Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, I have to begin with this thought. To take writing seriously, I have to break or tweak most rules and pen, not what to lecture others or show them what I know, but only to learn a few things in the process of my writing. Other than that, any writing becomes a chore. How I write, where or when I write, pen, computer, or whatever never matters as that always changes, anyway. I’d rather explore a subject or my own insides and hope to find something new, something omitted, something that has escaped attention. To do this, most of the time I spend is with research or deep thought (somewhat). Never mind NaNo, as I take most of my NaNo work as practice, and even then, I find myself living the lives of several or all characters, which still needs research. For this reason, for this year’s NaNo, I am debating whether I should tackle a genre or a situation I am totally unfamiliar with. It may end up being crap, but at least I will have tried. |
