Plus the most common response to your post was "MIND BLOWN" or "MIND MELT", so...<br /><br />I hereby grant you the title of Atomic Bomb Planner. :DClaudie A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10726598163986994132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759789976253980784.post-76898215364412471492011-08-18T16:22:24.555-04:002011-08-18T16:22:24.555-04:00I get to be Oppenheimer!

I think the scientific method ap...I'm with you. I think the scientific method applies to everything in life - try it one way, measure your results, try again. And I've always loved the stories of how scientists arrive at their conclusions more than the actual science (maybe that's why I teach instead of do, eh?) I read a lot of craft stuff, too, and I just Frankenstein it all into a process that seems like it'll suit my work personality. Margo's post today scared the crap out of me - I admire it. I wish I was like that sometimes, but I'm too scatterbrained to make it through all that planning. But that doesn't mean that there aren't elements of that work philosophy that I can't meld into my own practice. After all, without Einstein there can be no Oppenheimer... maybe that's a bad example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759789976253980784.post-29958332486922958442011-08-18T15:14:11.780-04:002011-08-18T15:14:11.780-04:00Hektor: Don't we all wish there was a magic wa...Hektor: Don't we all wish there was a magic way? ;)<br /><br />Sarah: It's not surprising for other techniques to fail. What works for one writer doesn't always for another. When I try other things, though, I get a better idea of what tends to work for me, or how I could modify the technique to make it fit my needs.Claudie A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10726598163986994132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759789976253980784.post-86261705393563910962011-08-17T23:41:58.310-04:002011-08-17T23:41:58.310-04:00I have so often tried other writers' methods a...I have so often tried other writers' methods and only encountered failure. It may be because there's a strong part of me that is inherently rebellious. I do enjoy discussing technique though and will probably get more into that on my blog as my writing routine smooths out.Sarah McCabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985261436020635823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759789976253980784.post-74510121716141505462011-08-17T19:43:55.407-04:002011-08-17T19:43:55.407-04:00I keep thinking I'll arrive at something magic...I keep thinking I'll arrive at something magic.

SO MUCH THINGS TO PILFER, whee!<br /><br />My process is all over the place, to be honest. It involves a lot of talking to my boyfriend as we drive around, then typing into a document, then laying around awake at night. ^^<br /><br />I did do a post way back in February about what I had before I started writing last time: http://claudiea.blogspot.com/2011/02/plotters-weapons.htmlClaudie A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10726598163986994132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759789976253980784.post-61434505769051243182011-08-17T12:15:16.572-04:002011-08-17T12:15:16.572-04:00I adore Margo (*waves* Hi, Margo!) but her post wa...I adore Margo (*waves* Hi, Margo!) but her post was so intense that I had to stop reading. It is JAM PACKED with helpful info, but all I read was "here's what you're NOT doing, Tricia..." So I did the next best thing--I printed it out and put it in my writing folder to tackle another day.<br /><br />Claudie, I'm a lot like you. I need to know the process, the steps. One of those, 'show me your way and I'll try it and revise as necessary.'<br /><br />So are you going to share with us (and by "us" I mean me) your process? Who else am I going to copy?! :)TL Conwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831728300345220814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759789976253980784.post-88484648981803919842011-08-17T12:04:10.572-04:002011-08-17T12:04:10.572-04:00Heck yeah.
