We are so on the same wavelength.<br /><br />I agree about process. Every book is different, I suspect. This new WIP for me needs more outlinging, I think.

But I get it. At least Toddler-Writer has ideas and unabashedly shares them. <br /><br />Makes me think of the commercials for (I don't even know what, car insurance?) with the guy asking kids questions. The kids are answering with whatever actually comes to mind, and I kind of love the one where a little girl goes off on this "if he wasn't fast, he'd be bitten by a werewolf and would growl 'I want to go home'" story, even though everyone else looks at her like she's a little crazy. I watched it and thought she was one of the coolest kids on those commercials (she and "but then I couldn't say 'meet my puppy-brother'" girl hang out, I am sure).<br /><br />With every story I have tried a different process. The clockwork ghost story that I have been stuck on for ages? Timelined it after the first two chapters. I know what should happen, I just can't get myself to write it. And I wonder, if I have to 'get myself' to do it, is something wrong?Sabrina Favorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303054417674236268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116461351305070142.post-71255793204058503922013-06-07T16:38:16.800-04:002013-06-07T16:38:16.800-04:00hahaha you should try it for The Wheel of Time.

It was a game a group of friends and I played. We all had powers and secret identities (Sailor Moon or X-men-like, sans matching uniforms). I made character sheets for them, and eventually started to write a story that I never finished. (I didn't finish a story until 8th grade, when I had an awesome English teacher who made us write a one-page story, and then a 3 to 4-page story; mine ended up being 8 pages).<br /><br />(And yet I've never RPGed or LARPed. :P )Sabrina Favorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303054417674236268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116461351305070142.post-70095655125070582442013-01-26T22:09:39.260-05:002013-01-26T22:09:39.260-05:00it sounds to me like you need to give yourself a b...it sounds to me like you need to give yourself a break. the worst feeling (she says from experience) is when there are just too many balls in the air and you feel like other people are judging/mad at you for it. which is the OPPOSITE of helpful, because it just tosses more balls into the air for you to juggle (imaginary bad feelings other people might have toward you because you don't have time to connect with them as much as you did before--or, on the flip side, real bad feelings people have for you, thereby indicating they don't deserve your time or energy after all because they're adding to your stress, not making your life better). <br /><br />everything is ok! even if it's different from the way it was before!<br /><br />new mantra: everything is ok!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116461351305070142.post-30675855529480640892012-11-27T10:00:56.956-05:002012-11-27T10:00:56.956-05:00I found an original copy in an antiques store in a...I found an original copy in an antiques store in a suburban town in New Jersey in 2006.
