May Writing Meme: Day 28-29
May. 29th, 2011 07:30 pm28. Do you visualize scenes when/before you write them? Or do you go by how the words sound in your head? Both? Something else entirely?
Hmm...this is really tough. I don't go scene-by-scene usually (see, impractical architectural process). If it's dialogue and the character has a known voice or pattern for speaking, I'll play lines in my head and write down the one I can 'hear' the best. But as for scenes, it's very much like putting myself right in the middle of them (as a participant) and describing the experience best I can.
29. What do you do when the words just aren't coming?
I play games. Lurk places. Perhaps woe a bit. Dance. Go outside. Anything other than writing.
( Remaning questions. )
