At that point it's all about discovering the voice of the work. Once I've settled into the voice then I may throw away the first couple of chapters and then I outline a ways, then write a ways, outline, then write until I reach about the 3/4 mark. At that point I have to outline the rest. I also create a character bible as I go. <br /><br />So fun to hear how others approach the process. My own process continues to evolve the longer I spend writing. I love that evolution!Emily Gray Clawsonhttp://www.emilygrayclawson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-13822110062463773092011-09-12T12:27:54.933-06:002011-09-12T12:27:54.933-06:00I use a mixture of pretty all of those methods. I ...I use a mixture of pretty all of those methods. I can't entirely discovery write--I need to have an idea for where I'm headed and some major landmarks along the way. But I can't entirely outline, either. <br /><br />I need to do better with making character Bibles, especially the more I revisit old stories and use the same characters--I do a lot of checking up on wait, how old is her son? What's this person's kid's name? Eye color? Car they drive?Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.com
