HE CAN'T FIND HIS WAY BACK When she said that she was seeing things I had to wonder But then I saw them too So we talked about what we saw And wept sometimes Because that’s what family does When a father loses his mind And can’t find his way back.

We don't know where we come from and we don't know where we're going to. While we're here we try to have a good time. Generally, with mixed results. We try to help others have a good time unless we're selfish jerks. Generally, with mixed results. Makes for a pretty good story

How do you get better at writing fiction fast? You identify your strengths and weaknesses. When you do that, you know where to focus your scenes. If you're good at dialogue, develop char., plot, setting in dialogue more. brianyansky.blogspot.com

I'm a discovery writer. Draft 1 I discover the story and add characters and come up with setting. Draft 2 is adding and subtracting what I have and digging deeper so it all makes sense. Draft 3 is about refining what I've written so it all fits. Draft 4 is about language.

A writer needs the habit of writing. Inspiration is great, but it can’t be depended upon. It tends to wander off. #amwriting #WritingCommunity

For Discovery Writers: Trust yourself. Your brain knows more about storytelling than you think it does. You’ve been absorbing story structure since you were a child. Those patterns are in you, even if you can’t articulate them yet. #WritingCommunity #amwriting
