The Writing Process

Posted on July 30, 2011 by fairysockmother

My stories first emerge on junk mail, paper napkins, the margins of bulletins from church or theater programs. To begin with they are isolated bits of dialogue, plots, description, or the name of a truly awesome character. Then, like puzzle pieces they start to mesh together, interlocking to form a cohesive whole and acquiring a life of their own. How cool is that???

I love it when stories magically appear out of nowhere – like they’ve been waiting all along for us to find a place to write it down. 🙂
