The trick for me is not to edit until the first draft is done. Stephen King says: first chip it out of the ground without breaking any bits off. Good advice. I would add: nobody washes a baby while it's being born.Catriona McPhersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17234089279665716446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-66161630087561685422012-12-20T06:40:22.071-08:002012-12-20T06:40:22.071-08:00I write from the seat of my pants also with just t...I write from the seat of my pants also with just the vaguest notion of how the story will begin, should flow through the middle and which way things will go at the end.

Must thank you for this inspiration because now, in my head, I'm composing an entirely different direction for my main character. Does anyone else find themselves editing...repeatedly?

Have not seen the dastardly doer of dirty deeds since I was a child. Thank you. <br /><br />So, is it more fun for the author when the characters insist on their own way, or more anxiety-making? It seems so schizophrenic, to write characters who change during the process. Thanks for the fascinating glimpse into the process. No wonder so many writers are characters themselves!
