I just got home last night.<br /><br />Jamie, yes, I am the talker in the family. I can go a mile or more a minute. The ability to string lots of words together is not limited to what I can do with my mouth, but also extends to my hands so I suppose that's why I'm a writer ;)<br /><br />Lisabet, I always ask questions when I write. It's a game of "What If" and when I'm stuck for ideas, I keep asking questions, sometimes the same question over and over until I get an answer. As for that story, I wondered also if the f/f version would be more subtle, and may get back to it. The story looked to be much longer than what I wanted for the podcast, so it's been put in the 'pecolate' stack until I have a few more ideas worked out. But it will come back for another round of brainstorming and writing ;)<br /><br />Thanks guys!!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832774182683343435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-17091784543080995052009-05-23T04:32:49.075-04:002009-05-23T04:32:49.075-04:00Hey, Helen,
Thanks for letting us listen in on yo...Hey, Helen,<br /><br />Thanks for letting us listen in on your inner conversations. <br /><br />What I found fascinating is the way you use questions to lead yourself on. I do the same thing (though I rarely write down all the stages). What if? Why? What's the background? What does this character really want?<br /><br />It's not really free association. It's more like guided fantasy.<br /><br />What I find fascinating is the way your story morphed from your earliest ideas to the semi-final cut. Just about the only aspects that you retain are the notion of telepathy, and the dissatisfaction of the main character.<br /><br />I'd love to see you write the F/F version, though, too. It's sounds a bit more subtle.<br /><br />Warmly,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-90214757395700358752009-05-22T15:22:34.656-04:002009-05-22T15:22:34.656-04:00Helen, OMG!

Ask a simple question...<br /><br />Does your family ever accuse you of being chatty?<br /><br />The new WIP looks great, BTW.<br /><br />Have a great weekend!<br /><br />JamieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
