Plotter vs. Pantser

To the non-writing crowd, plotter vs. pantser may sound more like wrestling match contenders. But to me it is whether I plot my writing or go by the seat of my pants. I'm usually a pantser, but today I find myself, by necessity, a plotter. The seat of my pants has brought me so far, and now the characters are standing around in my head waiting for me to move along.

So out comes the paper and pencil, because I'm visual, and having the circles and lines and dots connecting things on the paper in front of me works best. Something about the scratch of the pencil against the paper feels right.

So I'm off in search of my notebook and a #2 lead pencil...

Inspiration Jumpstarter

The most wonderful building in the world, in my humble opinion. The Chrysler Building. I had the great fortune to be inside the very very top of the building in the early 80's. On the floor where the speakeasy Cloud Club was housed during prohibition. Amazing view and experience. And me without a camera!

Just looking at such a wonderful example of what man has wrought is inspiring to me. No, I'm not an architect. I'm a writer, and I find inspiration in strange places sometimes. And this building never fails to stir something within me.

What stirs you?

Moving Woes...

Moving is never fun, and especially when you have no idea how to pack your stuff to take with you!

After reclaiming my original (read maiden) name, I had to change quite a few things, among them my blog URL. New blog set up - check. Picture I love added - check. Move over the old posts to the new blog - uummmmm. No check. 

A friend sent a link that helped some, but they didn't move by themselves. So here we are starting from scratch! Computers....it's a love hate relationship!

So I'm here...and will post more later when I have unpacked. :)
