But, maybe I need a beach scene. :-PHere, There be a Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181791525156482545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156904009904918104.post-38443584742246327462015-05-24T22:54:01.400-04:002015-05-24T22:54:01.400-04:00Oh my goodness.

I love going to a place for inspiration when it's available. It's such a great feeling to sit and write exactly where the action happens :) Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567420139472596391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156904009904918104.post-50732991916546272192015-05-24T17:11:29.745-04:002015-05-24T17:11:29.745-04:00I tried to pantst and it was even worse than this....I tried to pantst and it was even worse than this. Nothing made since and I had no idea what I was even aiming for. I like the idea of making bullet points of the scenes. It's like having a to do list or a map. You can always see what happens if the story seems to call for something else, but you have something to get back to if you get too lost.Ink Dipped Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05776666082862718102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156904009904918104.post-1800837385658246752015-05-24T14:24:17.591-04:002015-05-24T14:24:17.591-04:00My characters have also been known to take over a ...My characters have also been known to take over a scene and all I can do is keep typing. That's why I don't know how anyone can be a plotter. How does a writer know ahead of time that the story is really going to go in that direction? <br /><br />I agree too that the best way to do research for specific scenes is to go there. Besides the usual google everything, I've also found Google maps helpful as then I can actually go to a specific town via satellite and see that those streets really aren't tree-lined or that the gravestones in that cemetery run in the other direction or whatever problem I have run into. <br /><br />Have a good and productive week!Chris Loehmer Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831717125652627898noreply@blogger.com
