As I revise my Marnie novel and as I put together a proposal for a Bible study series, I'm allowing a new book to simmer. I don't have much written down--just the first page that inspired this idea. I know the main character. I know two of her friends. I know how she got into the situation she's in at the beginning of the book. But I don't yet know the story. That's okay.
I'm simmering.
I came across this article today about using collages in the creative process of writing. I've heard it before, but this time, it struck me. I think I may start a collage for my new book. I think that this process would be useful both for novel writing and nonfiction. Figured you guys might be interested in checking it out: Workshop: Create a Writing Collage.
Tomorrow, I'll pick back up with the Transforming Culture thoughts.
If I wrote a book I would want it to be so much easier than that.
You are one dedicated word processor, Heather!
And is this "Veronica" we're talking about?
Ooooo... I like that. It implies time and low heat. That's how I like to get my ideas, little warm moment by little warm moment.
heather, i love this concept!!
at the writer's conference i went to last month, i was introduced to the whole concept of note-carding outline points (for fiction or non-fiction) so that you can visually alter your outline & see how the story might change if the order of certain elements were changed. it makes sense to make these early stages of the writing process visual so you can see the characters & plot points take shape -- it seems like they might become more full-bodied & multi-dimensional. i think this will totally work for the non-fiction piece, i'm writing too.
bring on the scissors & glue!!
