Different Methods for Different Writers

I've been reading blogs this morning, and have decided not to write my own post.  Instead, I'd like to promote a wonderful series happening today, started by the always entertaining Tawna Fenske at Don't Pet Me, I'm Writing.

Tawna's readers have asked what her writing methods are.  In response, she enlisted the help of five other writing bloggers, and the six of them have each written a post describing their personal approach to a novel, from curser blinking on a blank page to "The End" on the final draft.  I found their methods fascinating in their similarities and their differences.

For inspiring insight into the methods of other writers, check out these participating blogs today:

Tawna Fenske
Sean Ferrell
Cynthia Reese
Linda Grimes
Nelsa Roberto
Kiersten White


Have a wonderful weekend!

I usually don't comment on yer blog cuz by the time I get to it there's already 30 comments (must be a time-zone thing). So today I finally get a chance to say something...and you didn't even post anything. Well, thanks for the links!

Thanks for posting everyone here.

I saw Kiersten mention it on her blog, but I hadn't gotten around to the others. Now I have one place to click out of, lol

Cynthia Reese said...

Hey, thanks for the mention, Nicole! I'm so excited about how other writers are sharing THEIR processes in the comments trails of these blogs!

And glad I found yours!

(Whoa. That's a whole lotta exclamation points. Do forgive my overflowing excitement.)

This was a great idea. I loved learning about each author's process. For anyone who hasn't discovered Tawna Fenske's blog - they are missing out. She's awesomesauce.
