Welcome, back.

A new thread for this assignment is fine. The question is asked to help both you and others understand the many different ways we each go about crafting our stories. You've provided excellent food for thought.

Do you like to outline your stories before you begin? Why or why not?

Do you find that your characters run away with your story(ies) and take it in places you didn't imagine? Why or why not?

Do you use character outlines/synopsis/bios? Why or why not?

What tools and techniques have you found that help you best? If yes, please feel free to share them with the rest of the class, by telling us about them and showing us where we can find them.

Answering these questions is your next assignment - along with getting started on the assigned readings.

Please answer the questions in this thread.

Take your time and work on what you need to in your life first.

All the best,

Ruby

PS

I'll ask Rabbit to move this thread into the Writer's Area - Level 3.
