They just poured out of me and I had a good time doing it. But I don't know how to keep it going consistently, so I'm hoping Story Engineering will help that.<br /><br />Mike - I really admire the fact that you can write a short story! I can't do that to save my life. The best thing that comes close is the first chapter of my book "Fireheart." Every time I try for a short I end up with an epic fail due to multiple storylines.<br /><br />Good for you!Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556448434910998946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21596306.post-47520771617361553702012-08-23T21:54:31.293-04:002012-08-23T21:54:31.293-04:00Well, it's good to hear that your roommate is ...Well, it's good to hear that your roommate is feeling better enough that you can get out a little bit. Sorry about the guy with the odor issues - I think we've all been faced with that issue once or twice.<br /><br />I remember my first day at my current job, overseeing a janitorial service division. One of the workers came in that first afternoon, and as he walked into my office, he let loose on what was likely one of the absolute worst smells I've ever smelled. Nice first impression, huh?<br /><br />As for writing, I cannot be a pantser. I might write a short story from a simple, small idea, but I require a skeleton structure at the minimum to write something so complex and intertwined. I admire the pantsers, but would never want to be one.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03168852919682403315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21596306.post-35198348993956916552012-08-22T19:49:27.880-04:002012-08-22T19:49:27.880-04:00Ouch!

I pantsed my NaNoWriMo last year, and while I finished it, there were so many inconsistencies that had to be fixed up in editing. <br /><br />The story I'm working on now is hopefully going to be much tighter; I've been plotting it in one form or another since about January. <br /><br />Hope you didn't have to suffer too much more from the, er, gentleman in the neighbouring booth!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
