I fill out characters sheets and as I write, subplots happen. Some of the time I ask the question what if a thousand times, well almost, and it's usually the last one I come up is the better. <br />With a basic direction it flows. We are all very different in how we tackle our writing, and yet no particular approach works. <br /><br />Suzanne :)Suzanne Brandyn Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969670520269001723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189057993341683394.post-65384286132032309342010-04-19T13:44:02.795+12:002010-04-19T13:44:02.795+12:00Francine wish i had your control and will power, i...Francine wish i had your control and will power, i can't seem to help myself but i have vowed that i am going to try!!<br />Suzanne i love 'by hand' writing! i am going to keep doing it by escaping every chance i can to the library!<br />Ju, i'm really enjoying the off the seat experience it's rather thrilling, though the plotter in me is dieing to take over ;)Kerrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808737330801680632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189057993341683394.post-42147953058930496622010-04-19T13:39:14.461+12:002010-04-19T13:39:14.461+12:00Kerrin, great to hear that words didn't stop f...Kerrin, great to hear that words didn't stop flowing and you were having "fun" with pen and paper ! <br /><br />Myself, am a pantser with a wee bit of plotter in me.. For eg..when I start a story, I have no idea where it is going.. <br /><br />But as I describe the H/h - I jot down in a notepad - their characteristic like eye color, hair color etc.. and well, may be a line or two like the blurb that tends to keep the story in focus.. That's the extent of my plotting :) Rest is off the seat !Ju Dimellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05898589783338403889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189057993341683394.post-25068247827727587842010-04-19T02:53:56.651+12:002010-04-19T02:53:56.651+12:00I always loved writing by hand - but I'm getti...I always loved writing by hand - but I'm getting old and creaky now and find that typing's much easier.<br /><br />XXSuzanne Ross Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561888635304578484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189057993341683394.post-12545342307899213242010-04-18T21:56:44.788+12:002010-04-18T21:56:44.788+12:00Hi,

As I've said before, characters arise from various sub-conscious inspirational sources ie; paintings, places, etc., and appear in cinematic glory so no plotting needed for contemporary themes.<br /><br />With historicals the plots and characters arise in similar circumstances to above, but with historicals comes research, and more often than not entails book reserch as opposed to Internet, and copious handwritten notes. I am at present researching jewellery circa 16th - 18th centuries inclusive clothing fashions. <br /><br />Alhough I work on a laptop in the house, garden,conservatory or wherever, when reserching via books a hardback A4 ringpad is my tool and pens (plural)red and black.<br /><br />Am I distracted by Internet connection when writing novel, NO, but regular breaks for a cuppa and walking the dog is often rounded off with quick check on blogs etc.<br /><br />You see, I've been researching since seven this morning, and have finally stopped for brecky/brunch at 3mins to eleven am.<br /><br />best<br /><br />F<br /><br />bestFrancine Howarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326542867876257042noreply@blogger.com
