writethisfanficHello on Friday! How is it going for you today, this last day of January? Is it a day filled with writing? Research? Brainstorming? Editing? Thinking? Procrastinating? Taking a break?
Here's a quote for this new writing day, which I hope is prophetic for those of us who attempt to take up our pens today:
For Discussion: Do you find that your ideas come before you start writing or after? Or is it a mix of the two?
I'm going to be traveling today, so depending on when I get off and when I arrive, I may not have much time left for writing today. However, I want to spend at least 20 minutes working on something writing-related, if nothing else. That's my goal for the day!
I often get my ideas just sitting around or something I am reading triggers a possible story idea -- however, I do find that sitting down to research it makes the idea better. Also, if the idea is not well-formed to start with, it will definitely give birth to more and better ideas as I write. So I guess it's a mix of the two for me.

There are thousands of thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up the pen and writes.
