My name is Roy and I hail from BC, Canada.
I've actually had this link on my website for almost a year and haven't really visited it recently, until now.
Im usually not involved in too many forums, but I feel I need to get my creative juices flowing again and have ended up here.
Seems like a nice enough place.
Of course, I had a question in mind:
Is it possible to begin a short story with a 'stream of conscienceness' type writing style and actually carry that thought/writing process through enough to have a 'complete' story?
It's kind of a loaded question, but I love starting stories with thoughts, but sometimes myself mired down at a point where I am not sure where the characters and plot should go next. Hmm.
Anyways, I'll throw that out there for now.
Maybe I should polish up on my 'story structure' lessons from the past and have an actual pre-concieved notion of what I actually want characters and plots to do, huh?
Cheers,
Onka.
