Like going to the dentist, as you said, which gets criminally underrated, if not misrepresented heh. We should always separate fiction from facts, tendencies from tasks, to get things done.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.yournapervillefamilydentist.com/" rel="nofollow">Maple Park Dental </a><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066621724249194131.post-71883762006460613042014-01-13T17:53:47.708-08:002014-01-13T17:53:47.708-08:00I think it's super important to let your brain...I think it's super important to let your brain work on stuff on its own and not to force it sometimes. It's also a great excuse to read or watch TV, so... :D <br /><br />And yes! Oh man, I used to get so upset when I only had three tennis balls on my chairs. *lopsided*Alex Yuschikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15930809566394865354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066621724249194131.post-57233013288958928302014-01-13T17:52:35.331-08:002014-01-13T17:52:35.331-08:00Thanks! Yeah, I'm not sure I agree with it 100...Thanks! Yeah, I'm not sure I agree with it 100% either. ;) I'm one of those people who needs to work with an idea in order to see where it's going. Granted, it means I write a lot of scenes to get to know the characters and those don't always get in the final draft, but I like discovering through writing them. <br /><br />Dude, switching between planning and pantsing is hard! I try to plan a lot before I write--my current manuscript is probably the first I've ever pantsed. Much respect, and thanks for comment!Alex Yuschikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15930809566394865354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066621724249194131.post-88130341239230598802014-01-13T15:42:42.288-08:002014-01-13T15:42:42.288-08:00This is so true. I don't think we do ourselves...This is so true. I don't think we do ourselves any favors by trying to write when we're mentally exhausted. I think all end up with is crap that will need to be rewritten anyway, so we might as well dive into something else and decompress for a beat. <br /><br />I've totally forgotten about those tennis balls on the bottom of elementary school desks. ^_^krystal janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02115542477066959046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066621724249194131.post-75094412369712791312014-01-13T08:29:26.866-08:002014-01-13T08:29:26.866-08:00I like you illustration to the subconscious mind! ...I like you illustration to the subconscious mind! I think it's in Save the Cat! where Blake Snyder says to resist writing scenes for a new idea until the concept has been fully fleshed out. I don't totally agree with that, but there is something to be said about letting an idea stew for awhile. I tend to make notes on characters and make rough notes of scenes, but I try to get those ideas fully realized before I start writing. Really hard since I'm more of "pantster."
