That makes it hard, but also very special.JoanCurtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16224850170022507851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-664025559144222907.post-10249318753203760382016-10-07T15:34:07.229-07:002016-10-07T15:34:07.229-07:00What great advice, Joan!

However, I've learned I can't write detailed plots either because the voices in my head never follow along! Those other characters demand I put them on the page. Every writers process is different, and no writer is lazy! WE know that for sure. Happy writing to all of the plotters and pantsers and everyone in between!MJ LaBeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111307462465546001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-664025559144222907.post-54053968218530443502016-10-07T15:02:27.567-07:002016-10-07T15:02:27.567-07:00Okay, I'll wear pants if you insist.

First...always wear pants...Yes, I can indeed, Joan! First...always wear pants while writing. It could be unsanitary or dangerous without pants. Second...I have to admit the scariest part of writing is sitting down with a good idea and not knowing where (or if) things will go. But the stories have a way of working out. Voodoo!Stuart R.
