Dailyness

Well, I'm writing a little every day. The funky thing is that I'm describing what happens in the scene without actually writing the scene...and I'm starting to suspect this is what I should have been doing all along. Write the story part first -- the what happens and why and what it means and the underneath stuff -- write it out without worrying about show v. tell or anything. And then, when I've written the whole story out like that -- whether it's a short story or a novel -- translate it into narrative and dialogue and description and conflict, and all the other things that tell the story indirectly. The fun stuff, the stuff I don't have a hard time with (mostly).

We'll see how this goes...
