Most of us have from time to time, but many times we get into the zone, and then we are unstoppable!
What does this mean? It means that we sometimes find ourselves free to write whatever comes to our minds. When we are in this zone, it is magical and wonderful all at the same time! At this point, there is no way that we will stop! Nor should we! When the muse is on top of us, we should go where the muse takes us, because this does not always occur often, and we have to milk it for everything it can give us at the time!
This scenario is exactly how I got my Bermuda’s Secret series accomplished!
When you find yourself “in the zone” you simply have to ride that wave for as long as you can, until the creativity starts to “peter out”. There is simply no other way to go about it! At this point, writing is like a drug to us! We HAVE to do it! This is the exact moment where you know that you are truly a writer.
Sometimes it takes me a while to figure out where I want to go with a book idea. Finally, there is a drip–as if out of a leaky faucet–then I simply write a sentnece, and eventually this becomes a book! Many times that is how writing is. A story is born from a few sentences. When you really think about this hard, it truly is easy if you have the talent and the desire!
This is how I Develop my manuscripts.
Here is another way.
I used a typewriter obviously on that one.
Now, I keep a running manuscript on the computer, and when snippets enter my mind, I type them out that way.
Whatever method works for you will be the best, for you! This is just an example. My point is that a book is definitely DOABLE by anyone! I believe that everyone has a book inside themselves!
Until next time, KEEP WRITING!
