turpsI have a writing question o friends list.
How do you approach writing a story? Do you start at the beginning and keep going to the end? Hop around filling in scenes where needed? Something else?
See, I'm writing something that's pretty long, but have a scene that's buzzing inside my head. Thing is, that scene won't happen until much further into the story and I just don't work that way. I start at the beginning and write until the end. I can't imagine having a scene just sitting there waiting to be joined to the main story, but, it wants to get out so badly. I can feel the words on the tips of my fingers and it's annoying me. Plus, there's the real fear I'll forget what I wanted to write if I push them back.
So, I ask others how they write while I wrestle with what to do.

Date: 2006-04-11 06:27 pm (UTC)Normally, I start at the start and go through until
3 minutes before the deadlinethe end. But. It's a creative process and sometimes that changes. If it's itching to get out, let it out. NOW. I've written things in one sit down [long stuff, too] and had an end to a story I had no begining to before. Just go with whatever is happening now.BOXES!
