I plotted the first half of my next book on the way to my Mother's wedding last week. I'll just kind of imagine what is coming up, then my mind will drift as I drive and in a blink the answer is there or the scene starts playing out in my mind. I always keep a hand-held tape recorder in there so I can keep up with the ideas and don't lose them.Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1147526713899658242006-05-13T08:25:00.000-05:002006-05-13T08:25:00.000-05:00I can usually see the problems in my manuscripts w...I can usually see the problems in my manuscripts when I read back over them and I have some great CPs who are happy to point out the missing elements. Thanks ladies!<BR/><BR/>My usual routine is this:<BR/>-find or become aware of the problem<BR/>-complain about it for several hours/days/weeks (depends on how big the problem) :)<BR/>-brainstorm a solution, alone or with friends<BR/>-go through the rewrite process again<BR/><BR/>I've never been known to clean during this time, but I can find other things to occupy me, especially other types of writing and mindless tv watching. I know there is a problem when the amount of tv I watch goes up exponentially. Usually I only take the time to watch the shows I really want to see, I never channel surf unless there's avoidance going on.<BR/><BR/>AngelAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1147448157141989872006-05-12T10:35:00.000-05:002006-05-12T10:35:00.000-05:00Tile scrubbing?

I can usually depend on them to either tell me I'm paranoid and inventing problems that aren't there or confirm the issue and then brainstorm a solution. <BR/><BR/>InstigatorKira Sinclair - AKA Instigatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274056066229852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1147442236634717942006-05-12T08:57:00.000-05:002006-05-12T08:57:00.000-05:00I can find problems that don't exist and then scru...I can find problems that don't exist and then scrub tile or pull weeds with the best of them. But I've also been known to just put a long blank line on the page and the notation "fill in later" and move on. I'll do that with just a word too. My mind can get quite the proper word so I'll just leave a blank and then I'll log onto the dictionary or thesaurus site and start searching.<BR/><BR/>PMPlayground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.com
