They either force you into the perfect solution you'd never have thought up otherwise, or make you bang your head against the keyboard until you realize you need to adjust *something* to get the heck out of there.Janice Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356672149097741248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-91217121134233295952010-10-06T14:09:08.990-05:002010-10-06T14:09:08.990-05:00Those corners are nuts - it's like driving a b...Those corners are nuts - it's like driving a bumper car that's bumping back and forth with no way out until something comes along and knocks you back on track.

I am always amazed when an author comes up with a great ending.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-35461028327029856462010-10-06T11:48:59.276-05:002010-10-06T11:48:59.276-05:00I worried my editor once that way.

But I told her it was my natural process and she laughed. It's a great technique, but it can make you want to pull your hair out sometimes.Janice Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356672149097741248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-90812922305798757732010-10-06T09:52:11.424-05:002010-10-06T09:52:11.424-05:00haha - I love the idea of writing yourself into a ...haha - I love the idea of writing yourself into a corner. I kind of did that with my opening scene and the way I pulled my characters out of it built up the whole story.

Like you, I read across a lot of genres. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting with us at KF.<br /><br />CCChristie Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838947086349600665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-48073591238696088412010-10-06T07:17:46.870-05:002010-10-06T07:17:46.870-05:00Thanks for having me over!

Half the fun is seeing where the story will go, and that's a mystery, too, right?Janice Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356672149097741248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-15877583551636488332010-10-06T07:10:57.252-05:002010-10-06T07:10:57.252-05:00Love your comments, Janice!

I write like you do in that I have a general plot and some characters but all the good stuff happens when I'm writing - peeling the layers off the story to expose what's beneath. I think that's the beauty of the creative process.<br /><br />LOL on the eel!<br /><br />Thanks for being a guest at Killer Fiction!Jana DeLeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351774231244304409noreply@blogger.com
