My Writing Process. · 3:25am Jun 9th, 2013
This is what I do when I (prepare to) write.
1)Write the plot completely in your head.
2)Bounce it around.
-Many good ideas come from letting your story crash into other things that you have read.
3)Play with it.
3b)Read Tvtropes - there is a lot of good advice there.
3c)Let your idea marinate.
4)Recite it.
-Work out wording issues. You may also get more ideas here
5)Work the kinks out.
-This step is where I check if a character is getting too good for a story (read: Gary Stu/Mary Sue)
6)Then put it on paper.
7)Walk away.
8)Come back the next day.
-A few hours minimum. It helps you forget what you wrote, so you can catch your own failures. The longer, the better.
9)Edit.
-NO DUH!
10)Read it through
11)Post it and enjoy the positive response.
This is my writing process. Some of my stories have been bouncing around for over a year before I put anything on paper. When I write, I love every minute of it, and it shows in the quality of my work.
Numbers 1-5 can be done whenever you have a free minute. I usually listen to pony music while brainstorming.
sound solid and good^^

As of this moment, I am in step 5 for both BQ,RK and TS.
I know what needs to happen to get from A to B in BQ,RK, but I am having trouble smoothing it out.
Maybe I can get it on paper within the next day or two...
As for TS, I'm going to start writing the next chapter after I get a solid breakfast in me.
