So Organic

The writing process is so organic, its what makes me want to do it , and what makes certain kinds of writing hard i guess, now that im thinking about it.

The process of writing a story is whatever works for the writer however there is some basic truth that functions for all writers (in some form or another) the planning, or pre-write stage wherein you have an idea, a shape of a story, even just a "Pitch" for a story in which a writer can more or less feel the story, even if they cant make out the details yet.

The Crafting, in whatever method a writer writes, they construct a story of some kind in the process , and the finishing where the writer revises, edits and changes the story to suit both their vision from step one, and practical application. as sometimes sacrifices are made for editing, they keep the main vision as best in site as the story warrants.

This is all little vague i realize, however it is the process that happens in between these points that is the reason i write, i know i have a character, and i know that she is going to talk, but honestly, until i reach chapter 2 scene 3 in my story, when its her turn to talk, i have NO idea what she has to say. I know i have a story to tell, i even know more or less how its going to end but whats going to happen to get us there, who will make it and who wont? well.. that is all up to the muses, as i have no particular designs until the words are already on paper, and once they are.. they are in stone (more or less editing not withstanding) I created characters, and i formed a story, but writing it is like watching a movie you never seen before, you know (more or less) how its going to end but its the journey that your taking that matters, if you have interest in writing, keep this in mind, your not supposed to know every detail before you type it, books write themselves, you just have to open your heart for them and let them out.
