When I write, I am visual about it. Every scene plays in my mind, and then I transcribe
it as I see it unfold. Sometimes I do
not even know where a scene is going until it has played out. I place the characters into a scene and just
let my thoughts, based on the personalities created, play out.
I guess you could say it is like a dream, but a
semi-controlled dream. Our minds are exceptionally creative. I am sure everyone
has a vivid dream and goes, “Wow” where did that come from. For me, writing is somewhat like dreaming. That is not to say it is not hard work. Writing is. It takes time, patience and a lot of revising and occasionally some research. Seeing something in your mind, then putting it into words is not always easy, well at least not for me.
