BreeVree: Coming back to my writing after a hiatus of a few years - not that I ever gave up per se, just did lots of other things, wrote some stuff I had performed, but my poor novels are sadly neglected. Time to get back into it! |

BreeVree: A question: Do you think that writers need to be voracious readers? |
||

BreeVree: There is very little more satisfying than receiving a six star review. I received my first one today, and was so chuffed!! |

|
BreeVree: I've been on FanStory for less than a week and I must say that I've been amazed by the writings I have read, and touched that others are prepared to give me the benefit of their expertise in order to improve my writings. Thank you all so much for your time. |

BreeVree: Does anyone else develop the outline for their story, start writing it, find the writing goes far far away from the outline, then delete the whole bit of writing that is away from the outline and return to the original outline? I usually move horribly away from my outline <:-) so sue me> but with a new novel I have started, every time I deviate, I end up deleting the deviation and returning to a strict interpretation of the outline! The outline is good, don't get me wrong, but I'm not used to following one this rigidly!! |

I know in poetry I try and stick to my thoughts about a certain poem, what I want the poem to be about, and how I want it structured etc. Is my thoughts the same as an outline? Perhaps, but just remember, don't ever get to far away from the beaten path, until you have evaluated in bits and pieces where this so called deviation is taking you. Does it make sense to the story? Is it something that has potential to be used now or in the future? If so, great if not scrap it, go back to your last point and continue again. If I said anything that makes sence I am glad, if not then scrap my words to, I am sure others will be more helpful, take care. Larry - | ||
