There is a lot of talk floating around the web about the actual process a writer uses when writing to create clear images. Apparently, many create collages. I'm not one to read magazines, so there just aren't any floating around my house. I have two versions of my own collage created.
1. The wall above my computer is neatly stacked with unframed pictures from places I have been
2. I create a new desktop for my computer
I'm completely unsure how logical either method may be. The pictures leave that blue goo residue on my wall when I change them, and the desktop could be a complete waste of time on my computer. (Kind of like all the internet time too many writers struggle with.)
Anyway, here's my inspiration for a couple different projects.
Anything different that you choose to do when writing? Share it below and feel free to add a link to your own blog!
I talk to my desktop image, which is currently the Mad Hatter. When the characters don't cooperate, I tend to scream at him. And I'm working on a map, so I can remember where everything is (by that, I mean locations).
ReplyDeleteFor me, the images become clear when I am looking through my protagonist's eyes, when I am lost in the story.
ReplyDeleteKathleen-I find that this happens for me, but only after I am further along in a story. Until then, I need visual references to keep things straight.
