how I actually get anything written is beyond me.
I start with a premise. such as a Hero walking away from the world he just saved in disgust. on arrival he makes a bigger splash than he knew or expected.
finding a nice quiet spot to build a new home, his 'splash' comes back to bite him in the ass.
the story is how they and he deal with repercussion of the first contact.
no outline, no real goal or end point in my mind.
characters are built on the fly with depth added after before during and after their fist introduction. ( hopefully)
Unless the story is long, (more than 50 or 60k) I dont even have a finale in mind until most of the way through the book.
the half dozen i have finished below 60k words were all written in the same manner. SS a and SS 2 were the same.
I write and see where the story and characters take me.
NO pre-planning, Pure Inspiration.
hehehehe
Wish me luck.
