I think every writer has to discover what works best for her or him, but sometimes we can share tips that point us in more productive directions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01105207228946253516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503722786986155525.post-3494820918774840622014-04-21T20:21:34.391-04:002014-04-21T20:21:34.391-04:00Really interesting to hear about your process!

But I think most of us tell ourselves stories about why we do things, and it's important for writers to figure out what those stories might be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01105207228946253516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503722786986155525.post-50621891806833431042014-04-21T17:41:43.038-04:002014-04-21T17:41:43.038-04:00Thanks, Rita!

And sometimes my...Yes, it's a strange process! And sometimes my attempts to fit something into the pattern don't quite work, and the characters have to set me straight. For example, the murderer in AUDITION FOR MURDER was perfectly willing to do the killing but didn't like the time I'd chosen for the murder. I hate to say it, but the murderer was right!

I love the imagery of you reaching up into a rotating field of stars and plucking them one, by one to see if it fits into the puzzle you are constructing out of words. I'm really becoming quite facsinated with this series, especially in light of the fact that it is so 'academic'.
