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. :(

Perhaps I'm just not that imaginative.. my most common artwork, Celtic knotwork, is fairly structured; I can sketch from an object in front of me but not out of my head; I've never really tried much in the way of creative writing--but I'm sure if I did, it would be patterned off of events or stories I'd experienced and read before.
