I choose to start
writing and see what happens. I plan as little as possible because it doesn’t
always work the way I plan. (Example: I started work
on a vampire novel and it turned into an erotica.) I
love the idea of not knowing and trying to keep not only the readers attention,
but my own as well.  Comments |
