If nothing else, writing is certainly more enjoyable that way.Anna Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158290821419472185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-61549286194146068472012-03-08T11:28:48.534-05:002012-03-08T11:28:48.534-05:00Author, Julia Cameron once said "Writing is a...Author, Julia Cameron once said "Writing is about getting something down, not about thinking something up.”<br /><br />I write best when I don’t have to lie nor strain to tell the story.<br /><br />If we stick with the fisherman's theme...for me, its like casting a fly fishing line allowing the line to whip and dash in the air before plopping onto the river water. Then, letting it sink and drift into a nook where that slippery fish is waiting to bite without a fuss. <br /><br />Smiles,<br />Anna<br />http://helpfulannalisa.wordpress.comAnnalisahttp://helpfulannalisa.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-61277362302423321612012-03-07T18:07:05.577-05:002012-03-07T18:07:05.577-05:00I like your analogy.

But wow, to turn my fish into a fancy five course (or more!) meal - that's a whole 'nother story. :)Dowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884358858472195593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-80092272132563042252012-03-07T08:45:28.800-05:002012-03-07T08:45:28.800-05:00I think I'm the former.

I think I can fairly say I'm plot-challenged, so I always seem to get stuck right around 1/4 - 1/2 of the way through. But I did find that if I break it down and outline chapter by chapter rather than trying to outline the whole book (very overwhelming for me to think I have to write a WHOLE book), it works better.NATASHA YIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293576071916842414noreply@blogger.com
