When I'm feeding my imagination on such stories, it's not too hard to gain ideas for my own stories. A brief example: I decided to write a story about Time-dimensions because I always really liked stories about time-travel, time loops, etc.<br /><br />Thanks, Kelsey. Yes, "pruning" is a good way to describe the cutting we do for our stories.Shannon McDermotthttp://www.shannonmcdermott.com/?page_id=189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034836370485944886.post-53125656309817406362013-10-25T17:12:25.116-07:002013-10-25T17:12:25.116-07:00Very interesting, Shannon!

Nice to kno...Nice to meet you, ma'am! ( waves)<br /><br />Nice to know someone else does the broad outline stuff. That's the only kind of outline that works for me. :)<br /><br />I like the way Mr Henry Holmes got born..evolving out of the story the way he did. I love the way some characters just emerge from nowhere and try to take over! :)<br /><br />Speculative fiction must be hard to write. How do you come up with all the interesting ideas? :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848256777406768028noreply@blogger.com
