And it can be reassuring, absolutely.<br /><br />Karen - I used to worry if a new book wasn't happening the way another book I wrote happened. Now I know - for me - each book has its own path, and it's okay.<br /><br />Anita - congrats on the outline!! That is wonderful!<br /><br />Lisa - that's true. Like I may try Becca's note card method one day, if I need to shake things up. So it does give us tools to put in our tool box, I suppose!<br /><br />Kate - I like that parts that are easy to get through rather than hard. But there are always those parts, unfortunately.<br /><br />Carolyn - thanks for stopping by. It is absolutely much more fluid than that!!Lisa Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10677227681455190084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007969087249548859.post-25252130521854235882010-10-11T10:55:15.271-07:002010-10-11T10:55:15.271-07:00I want to thank you for the candid comment you lef...I want to thank you for the candid comment you left at my blog on Friday. It's a perfect tie-in with what you have here, actually. So often we seek the "right" way to go about writing when it's much more fluid than that.<br /><br />Thank you for the reminder there is room within the verse novel genre for variety and that learnedness doesn't necessarily trump passion.Caroline Starr Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04597510685273079757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007969087249548859.post-22829530201797425452010-10-11T10:10:32.434-07:002010-10-11T10:10:32.434-07:00Excellent post, Lisa.

I guess because I'm hoping they're doing something I haven't thought of and might work for me. Although I'm doing pretty good on my own right now:)Lisa Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518068664181314509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007969087249548859.post-48086469083043067332010-10-11T08:53:20.302-07:002010-10-11T08:53:20.302-07:00I love Madeleine L'Engle's quote.

This outline was literally years in the making, a product of multiple revisions of my manuscript and multiple journals full of research and brainstorming. And now that I look at the outline it seems so simple, so obvious. Why hadn't I thought of it sooner?Anita Saxenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12444339735834716979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007969087249548859.post-44068240384711483152010-10-11T08:39:29.105-07:002010-10-11T08:39:29.105-07:00I loved hearing how other writers work on their no...I loved hearing how other writers work on their novels. <br /><br />And you're right -- there isn't a "wrong" way. As writers, we just have to find the best way that works for us. And it can change from book to book.<br /><br />The Wordstock Festival sounds like a cool conference.Karen Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08697785820907711723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007969087249548859.post-34262194353904593592010-10-11T08:15:40.000-07:002010-10-11T08:15:40.000-07:00Love Madeleine L'Engle!!

In the beginning it was to see if there was a right way/wrong way of doing it, but now it is more for interest and also sanity purposes. I follow some wonderful authors--ahem, you are one of the best!--and when I see their comments on twitter, on their blog or on facebook, it helps to know their process so I don't drive myself nuts in comparison. Like when they say they wrote 5000 words in a week but it was from a full outline :-) <br /><br />It's also always fun to get new ideas to bring to your own work!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing as always. You call your post Motivational Monday, which is exactly what it does for me at the beginning of a new week, with my brain clearing out of the weekend fog--motivates and inspires me for the week ahead.<br /><br />ThanksRachel Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711443001167188505noreply@blogger.com
