I'm not there yet, but I am working from fairly detailed character sheets filled with a lot of motivations. And a plot timeline. Also, I must know the ending before I begin, even if it changes. I'm hoping to avoid massive rewrites. It's a start :)Carol Kilgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745686632918324803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212609737973215552.post-70867536695190576622012-12-12T23:44:07.425+13:002012-12-12T23:44:07.425+13:00Hi Laura and Nas.

I'm amazed every time I read a fantastic post like this about the thoughts and processes that go into producing a book of purchase-worthy quality. Laura, Web of Lies is a book-shelf keeper for me. I'm not sure which process you should use for future stories, what ever you have been doing sure works for me :)TashNzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02146884245899602417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212609737973215552.post-4039481105880150832012-12-12T21:06:20.193+13:002012-12-12T21:06:20.193+13:00Hi Laura!
