It's worth saying that when I wrote longhand in the living room and laboriously typed it up on an antique Olivetti, using pints of typex (I am not a typist!) I had a publisher. Since I went high-tech, with my own study and a computer, I've not had a mainstream publisher.

I would dearly love my own private space but unfortunately it's not to be! Still it does not affect my writing so I guess that's all that matters. Many thanks for an interesting insight, hope I can come up to the bar and produce as good a piece as you have. <br /><br />Jo xxjolambertwriter.bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13606129541224876090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938469007636214821.post-54131434342595271922014-01-15T08:21:28.820-08:002014-01-15T08:21:28.820-08:00Thanks for visiting, Pauline.

But not the faintest idea how I'm going to get my characters from A to Z, not to mention when, where, how Z is going to play out. Still, if it's a surprise to me, then hopefully, it will be a surprise to the reader. gxGilli Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234069151918319605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938469007636214821.post-41151291321870023152014-01-13T10:10:55.121-08:002014-01-13T10:10:55.121-08:00Hi Gilli I really enjoyed reading about your "...Hi Gilli I really enjoyed reading about your "true to life" novels. As my S-I-l says "There was only one man perfect and they crucified him". So why should we write romantic fairy tales if we have more in depth emotions and circumstances to explore. I have your latest book on Kindle and now feel I must get on and read it. I never have enough time for all the books I want to read. <br />Well done.Gwen Kirkwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201272628774727921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938469007636214821.post-32976819280888714822014-01-13T09:08:59.239-08:002014-01-13T09:08:59.239-08:00Hi Gilli

I think my proccess is a bit similar, except that I usually know the beginning and the resolution roughly speaking (although even that that may change along the way). The middle always escapes me. As a result I can go off at a lick then come to a shuddering halt after which I usually start again :( at least I can now see the pattern. Right now I hope it's going to be third time lucky with the WIP.
