Guest Post at Misha's My First Book blog

Misha, of My First Book blog, invited me over to do a guest blog. The topic, "Where do you get your ideas?"

I explored this topic in a similar post here on my blog. The new post includes thoughts on where/how I grew my idea for Escape to Love. Stop by and discover the idea germ and leave comments.

Happy Wednesday!

Discovering Your Story

I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering. -- Robert Frost

This is very true when writing poetry. As far as I know, no one structures a poem until after it is drafted.

This is true to my own writing of fiction. Sometimes I have an inkling of the end, but the true discover is in the writing process.

I begin with a thought, an idea germ. Through free-writing, the germ grows into a story. During writing, the story takes on life. The story doesn't take on true form until the editing process.

How do you discover your story?
