A peculiar writing process..

[skreidle]

I don't know how common this sort of thing is in the world of authors.. but it's odd, to me, to read Vern's writing log as she forges ahead for NaNoWriMo, acting more as a channel for the events she describes than their creator. It's as if the writing is barely under her conscious control, with the story flowing freely from her subconscious or somewhere else entirely..
(Not just for NNWM, as she's been writing other scenes, stories, and books as well, but the witing log is solely about her writing.)


Unrelated: Aww, no Friday Five this week. :(

Wacky.

It's probably because I've never written even a short story, that I find it so strange.. all my writing--save for some rare poetry--hasn't been for creative purposes, so it's had a lot more structure and control..
