B Thorn

Smashwords Interview

What is your writing process?
I note down ideas as they come to me. (Sometimes I seek them out, if I have a rough idea where I want to go.) Eventually some of them will mature enough that I see potential for a story. Then I'll jot down an outline for the story and start writing. Usually I work from start to finish rather than jumping around, because otherwise there's a temptation to write all the fun bits first, and then I have no motivation to finish the rest.
I'm one of those disobedient authors who edit as they go. Maybe I'd finish stuff faster if I made myself complete a rough draft before attempting to polish, but I just can't bring myself to do it; every time I come back to a story in progress, I go over what I've just written and see if I can improve it.
Describe your desk
Cluttered.
