Great to hear how other writers ‘operate’. It just goes to show that as long as you enjoy writing and your readers enjoy reading, the process doesn’t really matter. As the French would say, a chacun son chat 🙂

(We must have the exact opposite brain chemistry.) Yours is the smarter path, I assure you, and know you’ll succeed on your journey!

I fall in love with the story and the characters first. Then I work hard to create as many beautiful sentences as I can. I always fall short in that department, but not in the compelling story. Those keep coming and sucking me in. So I keep working on my craft and hope, some day, to be able to say I’ve achieved as many beautiful sentences in a book as I want. Best of luck to you. Great post!
