Writing Process

[Narnie]

Hi Gerri,

This is probably a pretty common question, but I'm wondering if you have a specific process when you write.It's interesting to hear the ways different people develop stories.

Thanks,

Penny Copper

Hi Penny,
Thanks for sstopping by. When I have an idea for a story, I generally let it stew around in my mind for a while. When I know the beginning, turning point and how it will end, I begin writing. I do not have an outline. I usually allow my characters to tell their story. I write fast, no editing. I edit only after I have completed the book. Hope this answers your question.

Gerri, I loved A Pirate's Ransom. When does your next book come out?

[Narnie]

It does answer my question! You're much more contemplative than I am, I often write first and think later! :)

Thanks, Marian. The next book, "According to Legend" will come out in November. It's a time-travel romance which has a prophecy, a quest, a love triangle and a wolf!

Thinking first helps cut down a lot on the edit process. ;)
