Working on my travel version chart of who is betraying who is betraying who and why in my new WIP… #amwriting (kinda)

The earliest stage of a writing project for me is listening to the MCs having out of context conversations in my head: “If you’ve gotta be fucking FREEZING, there’s no better place to be fucking freezing than Cleveland.” “You haven’t had a real good time ‘til you’ve seen the back of an ambulance.”

I put them up in a very particular order, it my characters take them off in whatever the heck order they like.

Indeed. That one really got away from me too.

At least she’s honest.

OoooOOooo

And I KNOW it’s gonna happen, but I KEEP PLANNING ANYWAY… I can’t start without a ‘plot wall’ even though I am absolutely certain the post it notes will come off the wall all out of order anyway.

Sounds like an enjoyable way to write.

I love the dichotomy.

I don’t really have a separate muse. I fall at least a little in love with all my MCs and they are my muse for their story. I’m totally obsessed with getting in their heads and hearing them talk. #HorrorWritersChat
