If I am lucky enough to have my writer's notebook available, I will scribble it down. Otherwise, it's lost.<BR/><BR/>Welcome to the blog, btw.

The problem is that I actually write them, with the exact sentences and words I would like to use. Of course, I can never remember the right wording and for me, once it's been written (even in my head), it's lost. I can rarely describe what I wanted to originally. If I have an <I>idea</I> that's okay; but anything more than that...Kristen, spinninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423048975992600692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-88543186115693273562009-01-14T23:07:00.000-07:002009-01-14T23:07:00.000-07:00Terri-Short stories are great!

Particularly with this story I'm writing now because I have no clue how it's going to end, so i keep saying, "I suppose I should figure that out." <BR/><BR/>Glam-Steinbeck rocks! And it's true, most people don't like him. What's up with that???<BR/><BR/>Also, I LOVE the Great Gatsby! We are reader twins, you and I!<BR/><BR/>Stephanie-Hey, crazies are welcome here. :) You'll looking at one of them.<BR/><BR/>I love hearing my characters talk to each other. In fact, sometimes I will take on the persona of my MC and "talk" to the mirror, pretending it is another character. Now, hows THAT for crazy? :)Renee Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170818341212519937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-47733339712981437802009-01-14T20:33:00.000-07:002009-01-14T20:33:00.000-07:00Hi Renee!Do I lose bonus points if I offer another...Hi Renee!<BR/><BR/>Do I lose bonus points if I offer another "all of the above"? I can't escape my novel daydreams either! And my characters talk to me <I>all the time</I>. Like, sometimes I hold conversations with them, and sometimes I just listen to them talk to each other.<BR/><BR/>(That doesn't make me sound crazy does it? Yes? No? I'm gonna pretend you said "no.")<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the nice comments on my blog today!!Stephanie Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01327218987542530574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-3488625238130505042009-01-14T19:12:00.000-07:002009-01-14T19:12:00.000-07:00I just noticed on your profile that you're a big f...I just noticed on your profile that you're a big fan of Steinbeck. I love you already! Nobody likes Steinbeck... that I've found anybody. Besides my professors back in college. And one of my favorite books is The Great Gatsby, too. <BR/><BR/>I love the classics. Most all of them. I'm an English major, so it's a given.Michelle D.

You've got to keep an eye on her. :)<BR/><BR/>I agree with the brain typewriter. Wouldn't that be fab? Maybe cyborg Natalie can work something out for us.<BR/><BR/>Jill-Good music can totally inspire, can't it? I love some good film scores. When I listen, I start to envision scenes in my story.<BR/><BR/>Joanne-New roads are probably where I spend most of my daydream time. :)I like to have a good idea of where I am going before I start writing. At least scene by scene, that is.<BR/><BR/>Glam-Yeah . . . I'm guilty as charged. :) It's just that there are so few times when I can actually just sit there without my kids there to take my attention away. Church happens to be one of those time. Though, I am trying to do better. I've set a new goal NOT to take my writer's notebook to church. Hopefully that deters me from getting totally and completely distracted.Renee Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170818341212519937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-77007662095228343042009-01-14T08:12:00.000-07:002009-01-14T08:12:00.000-07:00Oh, dear....

I thought I was the only one who let my mind wander to my stories and characters in the middle of church!<BR/><BR/>I don't feel so bad now.<BR/><BR/>I like to think about my stories while on a long drive, or laying down before bed. I like it quiet and comfortable. I never thought of it as daydreaming, but that's exactly what it is!Michelle D.
