I *like* it!<BR/><BR/>//<BR/><BR/>Which do you enjoy more-- the research/imagining/prep like this, or the act of writing/story creating?<BR/><BR/>I will readily admit I like fantasy b/c you can tell so much story before you get to the nitty-gritty of detail research.<BR/><BR/>It's the <I>telling</I> that I'm in love with, and the details are definitely just the means to an end for me, so far from being entertaining in themselves.<BR/><BR/>It's interesting to hear you talk about imagining to be the prince. I can barely trust myself away from the computer to spend time in my characters or listening to them. I'm too afraid I'll forget something by the time I get back to the keyboard.<BR/><BR/>All I let myself do when I'm not actually writing is listen to my playlists (songs I've collected that match the emotional core of the character) or working what I call the "math" of the story-- trying to figure out things I'm stuck on.<BR/><BR/>But even then I have to run straight to put it down somewhere if I figure it out. I've proven too many (heartbreaking) times that even "if its important" I won't always remember it.<BR/><BR/>Do you think you have a good memory for that kind of stuff or do you write out of some kind of emotional "core" that imagining solidifies?Amy Jane (Untangling Tales)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17781603642364189037noreply@blogger.com
