Before I had written a book, I used to wonder: "How do writer's write?" I read creativity books looking for a single insider's gem that would illuminate the secret knowledge that only 'real' writer's knew and were blessed with.
I was too impatient to do writing exercises found online or in books.
I was too impatient to read books of popular authors.
I was too impatient to read about technique.
What I discovered was - words live in me. Sometimes I use my creativity, intuition and intelligence to work through a plot idea, or to craft a sentence, or to edit later on in the process. But for the most part, I simply write the words that live in me. I ask my guides to support my writing, then I start typing and it all comes out. That's my process for writing when I loosely know what the scene is about.
