Forcing myself to nail down an outline too early in the process, can kill a whole project, or at least paralyse it for months. There always has to be something left open until the very end. Just like I myself always keep open questions about the theme explored in my text. My story has to stay alive, to grow in a natural way. If I trust it to develope its own pace, it does. It´s a living organism indeed!Cerulean Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109218900232395847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706423549854344473.post-88927158437956609112010-08-17T08:11:09.948-07:002010-08-17T08:11:09.948-07:00Thanks Annie,

Thank you for sharing this. It's ...Hi Leonie, <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this. It's very similar to my approach to writing. I begin with a first sentence and see where the words take me, trusting in my subconscious to find the shape, whether it is a poem, a short story, a scene, or a chapter. After that, the work to revise begins. I am one of those writer who writes to see what will happen next. Another writer friend refers to this method as an organic, intuitive process.<br /><br />I love your photos!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588164536314320479noreply@blogger.com
