Image via WikipediaRight after my last post, about 9 months ago, I came down very ill, was diagnosed with
Lyme's disease and had very very very hard time recovering. Recently, it was discovered that not only do I not have Lyme's disease, I have never had Lyme's disease. This does beg to question: what is wrong then?
But this is only important information to understand why I didn't get anything done for so long.
Now, I have begun a new sci-fi/fantasy. I am very excited despite the lack of progress. On a much brighter thought, and one for which I am extremely happy, my daughter, who finished her first manuscript last fall, has been editing the project. Today we wrote a bio/resume, a synopsis, and a query letter and it was submitted, via email! We only sent it to one so far, being far too tired to continue tonight. Tomorrow we will sub some more and print out the snail mail versions to be mailed on Monday.
Image via WikipediaI began writing in earnest about 8 years ago. At that time I was given a plethera of different methods to help move my writing along. The snowflake, notecard, outlines, free form, "envelope" etc. What I have found however, is that I tend to use all of them at different times. SOmetimes, I simply need to get the ideas down, so the envelope is the most practical. Or I may need to remember where I am and where I am going, so I will jot down a revised outline. Other times I will simply sit down and write whatever comes to mind. I think that what the most important factor is is that I use whatever will keep my story moving forward.
