What I find most difficult are scenes in which there is a lot of action, such as a physical conflict, and you have to write the movements and responses in a natural, but believable way. I often write too much or too little. <BR/><BR/> I recently attended a writer event and two writers told me they begin their novels in the third person to capture all the detail, then go back to writing in first-person for the second draft to capture some internal nuances. I think I'll try that next time.Karen Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425141684712829990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-9077685815804425502009-02-09T12:54:00.000-06:002009-02-09T12:54:00.000-06:00Dialogue comes easy more often than description do...Dialogue comes easy more often than description does for me.

For example, youngest granddaughter's kitty was killed in an accident, and she's staying with me. We're going through the grief process, and the "why's" together. Difficult, but also I know that I'm tucking away the memories of what was said, the emotions felt, and will use them in actual stories, or writing, for a later time.

I have to go back and really concentrate on descriptions.<BR/><BR/>I try not to do any writing on the computer, because then I feel it has to be perfect right from the start. Something about the printed word... However, by handwriting my work forst, I feel less inhibited and the story flows faster.<BR/><BR/>L.
