“There’s nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein.” ~Walter Wellesley “Red” Smith
Right. So this is just a quick update before I go to the land of nod. I won’t have time to update tomorrow since i’ll be out costume shopping with some friends 
Last night, I started planning the scenes that will be included in each story. What surprised me was the manner in which they came to me. Out of order. Each scene that I began to construct came to me in no particular way. That’s never happened before.
For me, this felt unusual and wrong, but it seemed to work. Each of the scenes began to slot themselves together and flow. It just goes to show there’s no particular way in which to write. It’s all about what works for you. I know a few writers that have to do scenes in order because, for them, it wouldn’t make sense otherwise. In my case, i’m able to write the scenes out of order, construct them. Build them up then slot them in.
When building a scene, you have to keep in mind the fluidity of it. You can’t have a scene where you’re character is in the park one second, then all of a sudden in a supermarket the next. There has to be a reason behind every move. Everything has to be broken down and explained.
The breaking down of scenes for me is my issue. It’s hard, because once I get started writing my stories, I get all excited and just want to rush from scene to scene. I constantly find myself going back to scenes and asking myself: “What was I thinking?”
The key is to slow down and breathe. Break it down. Make sure everything flows.
