I had scenes that sort of came out of nowhere, and for a while I was considering changing the name, and then (thanks to James and his new girlfriend in the story) I managed to tie in the theme of the title of the novel in the very last chapter. So it's staying now... unless some editor wanted to change it (but think that's way off though lol!).Teresa F Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368928238008888457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946131609680459085.post-20319521706043630352011-02-13T17:28:50.125+00:002011-02-13T17:28:50.125+00:00I start out with a general idea and go from there,...I start out with a general idea and go from there, very much seat of the pants writing. I work it out as I go along. The vague ideas form into firm ones and as I get to know my characters, the story starts to write itself. Quite often I sit there typing in astonishment as my characters go off on a tangent. Writing for me is very instinctive. My best plot ideas have come in my sleep, funnily enough and as long as I listen to that little inner voice, things slot into place somehow.<br />My latest ms proving the point. I *really* struggled with the first chapter, the next two were easier, but finally by chapter five things are clicking into place and I can see the ending. HEA of course :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
