Brrr … it’s cold in Texas right now!
In other news, my sister has twins, and they turn two this week. Consequently, we spent last evening at a rowdy “Hello Kitty” themed family birthday party. The best gift was this four by four foot inflatable “thing” filled with 250 (not a mistype – 250!) soft plastic balls. No amount of writing would do it justice but the kids loved it. For all you parents out there, my sister says they got it at Toys R Us. Personally, it probably wouldn’t last a week before #1 Son (the dog) ate all the balls or the inflatable thing itself.
My #2 son took a big 3 hour power nap yesterday so I ended up with a bit of free time which I used to continue work on my story outline for Book #2. As much as I would like to think that I could iron out all the details of my story inside my head, I have to admit that most don’t become apparent to me until I start typing. I find it much easier to develop my next thought once I have an initial idea on paper. The other plus is that I don’t forget anything.

I remember those long naps. Or even the short ones. In terms of writing--I do a lot of planning, but there's something about getting words on the screen that can totally change around my plans!
ReplyDeleteI've got to agree, Barrie. It takes an extra effort, but I do try to visualize things before I start typing. Even so, I inevitably drift in a different direction (sometimes in reams and reams of different directions).
