I consider myself a basically organic writer in that detailed outlines get me no where quick. Usually these days I'm starting with, "hmn-this anthologys is about psychic vampires... okay. Got to write about pyschic vampires then." I try to understand who and what the characters are and then write what they WOULD do. I'm now "polishing" a novel. It's is taking as long as writing the damn thing. I need to cut almost a third of the book for the publisher and man does that teach you that not every word is important.
