If I am not hooked and intrigued I can't go on to make       up the story. I don't usually have a story idea before I start writing so the       first sentence is the spring board to the second. Most of my novels only exist       because I found a        first sentence which had story stuff in it.       >         Brenda wrote:       > You are clearly a pantser born, just like I am.              Like lots of people I'm sort of in between. I start without a clue but then I       plan. Once I've planned I rarely look at the plan ( I quite often mislay it )       and feel free to change it if I come up with a better idea. It's like so many       of these divides        introvert/extrovert, logical/intuitive, organised/chaotic I hover awkwardly at       the boundary not quite one thing or the other : )                      > Brenda (has no idea what is going to happen next)       Sometimes I write that way too and it is great fun, and then sometimes I       don't!        >        Nicky       >        >        > --        >               --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
