The lack of an outline leaves me with tons of rewrites, but it seems to be the natural process for me.Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402640602628647606.post-68697656695404959872011-05-04T20:47:44.317-07:002011-05-04T20:47:44.317-07:00My characters control me.

Writing's an escape from this one we're focusing on constantly. :) <br /><br />Thank you very much!

It's actually more a list of facts.<br /><br />They are alive but fuzzy in my head and they become more focused to me as I write. <br /><br />You're right.
