Mr. MacDonald- Thank you for the invitation and I wanted to post to let you know I'm "starting" in theory at the beginning of this thread.... YIKES-
I'm torn over what Mr. S? Said. The stories I write aren't products UNTIL I think I'm finished with all the revisions and edits and re writes etc.
But it is a passion for me as well. If I don't write- It's like holding back a dam emotionally. I have to write. I love tow rite- But I want to write what others will want to read too. so I want to LOVE writing my Product.
Basically
Going back to like page two or so lol- maybe I'll go back and forth in there are almost 500 pages. LOL
I can see why you are so respected here Mr. MacDonald. You sound like Steven King in On Writing... Even in The Artist's Way-(which isn't SK)
Personally I feel like everyone should have a routine. No matter what the routine is, because everyone is different. To some- smoking is horrendous- to others its life blood they wouldn't think of stopping. (yikes I made it however can't teach kids how to defend themselves then go out after class to smoke now can you? lol I thought not anyway
) I think the point though- is to HAVE that routine- and do not deviate from it. (From page one and writing for two hours as well as taking revisions elsewhere- I go into the trees or surround myself with crystals conducive to what I'm needing to do... yeah I know- but I do... lol)
I write in the morning and I was never a morning person- but I found that doing that in the early morning- the house was quite- no one asks me to do anything but write- and you are "right" I have several projects going and I can always find something to write about- I have a very tight temper- quick to cool- but quick non-the-less.... So- my character that I LOVE who isn't my baby lol- avenges and I let her avenge for me
Very therapeutic
Thanks again Sir.
