1/20/2014 1 Comment My Writing Process BlogToday is "My Writing Process" blog tour day, when writers answer questions about their writing process. Last week, fellow author Patricia Kiyono posted hers. You can check it out at http://creative-hodgepodge.blogspot.com/2014/01/writing-process-blog-tour.html.
Patricia writes Regency stories – but with a difference, as they are set in exotic places. Many thanks for the invitation, Patricia. So, what is my writing process? A lot of my writing process revolves around my kitchen table. I have a wonderful and spacious office in my basement, which only lacks one amenity—HEAT! This keeps me sequestered upstairs most of the time. What am I working on? The question is what am I not working on! At the moment I’m working on several different projects. I just finished publishing three novels in the last three months all of which have sequels either being edited by editors or myself. Once those sequels are complete I plan to return to my YA paranormal series. If I ever get all the written novels off my shelves, who knows what I’ll come up with. How does my work differ from others of its genre? I write in different genres, but overall I think my work differs from others because I put my own unique style in each book. My life experience mold and shape my stories whether in a big way or a small one. Why do I write what I do? I write what I write because it comes to me. I don’t have it mapped out or pre-planned. How does your writing process work? Generally my writing process starts with a simple idea. For instance with my chick-lit book, Love Octagon, a statement had been made in my presence, a very dangerous thing, I assure you, that if a man wanted multiple wives he ought to have to live with them all at the same time. I took that premise and carried it to its logical conclusion and let me tell you it wasn’t pretty. I don’t sit down and plot out the entire story. Trust me when I say that I’ve tried. The sequel for The Ruse, which I’m working on right now, has about seven chapters plotted out. By the time I reached the seventh chapter the characters had taken a completely different turn and I was forced to flow with them. Next week the following three authors will be telling you about their writing process: Andrea Buginsky - Young Adult and Middle Grade fantasy author. http://www.andreabuginsky.com Debbie Brown - An author of early Victorian stories with suspense and sweet romance. http://authordebrabrown.blogspot.com/ Elaine Ivey – Author of childrens books and romantic suspense http://elaineivey.weebly.com/kikis-blog.html
