Really interesting about the characters having a dialogue...that doesn;t happen for me at all. I have to start with a certain atmosphere and music helps create these. I agree about needing a title very early on though...Caroline Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708248040141519582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-62220782249198399882011-03-28T20:02:07.621+01:002011-03-28T20:02:07.621+01:00I have to have a title too, before I can get going...I have to have a title too, before I can get going - can spend ages getting it just right.<br /><br />My story usually starts from a 'what-if?' and then the characters spring to life.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986874444030474719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-22843242108218650302011-03-28T17:57:08.726+01:002011-03-28T17:57:08.726+01:00Like the others, I love reading about process - th...Like the others, I love reading about process - thanks, Fi. And like you, the title is really, really important. It's like a mini, pocket-size version of the whole novel. Fascinated by your listening to your characters - must try that!<br />SusiexSusie Nott-Bowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428000582406338267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-83531718159847833592011-03-28T08:33:25.253+01:002011-03-28T08:33:25.253+01:00The title does make such a difference to the start...The title does make such a difference to the start even if you don't use it in the end. Good tip re looking for ideas in the Classics,poems etc my last book was triggered by a photo in The Times newspaper. One never knows when the idea strikes that makes you want to write the novel!Great blog, could relate to most of what you say.<br />LeeLeela Somahttp://www.leelasoma.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-20396866236402582392011-03-28T08:18:18.719+01:002011-03-28T08:18:18.719+01:00Interesting post.
