Calling My Muse

by Scottiegazelle

Rated: 13+ · Book · Writing · #1014425

Walk-throughs as I plan my short stories and novels, with links to the finished pieces

Some people are able to sit down and dash out a story, spilling perfection with each drop of ink. No planning or thought is required.

Not me.

Oh, there are some stories that seem to spring, fully ripe, from my forehead, but those which require planning, or those related to my novel, take a little bit more time and effort.

Once upon a time, I was able to create these stories by simply talking myself through the details. I got many strange looks. I can access the same type of creation process by typing things out, and am able to return to my ideas as a result. This makes it ideal for my novel and related stories.

Incidentally, please feel free to check out the pieces I have put together to help me create this evil novel: "Invalid Item"
