Amateur ;-)
Writing Silver #3 (can't pin down a title yet) is turning out to be a challenging new experience for me. Silver Princess essentially wrote itself, and the challenge was to type fast enough to keep up with it. Silver Majesty was a bit more of a struggle but the plot twists still managed to take me by surprise.
Now that I'm working on Silver #3, I'm not completely sure what's going to happen. By that I mean that I don't have a vivid image of the ending in mind. I usually write, mentally at least, from both ends of a story. A character leaps to mind and I know him/her instantly. The setting builds around them, with a crisis of some sort to overcome. I have a strong concept of the ending in mind and just have to keep things from derailing (too much backstory on an unimportant character; stalling in general; etc.).
Silver #3, well, I know three things for sure about the ending and what has to happen before we get there. But I guess I'm still an amateur, because the best descriptions for what I'm doing are procrastinating and writer's block. Now that that's said, I'd better get to work! ;-)
