No, I'm not talking about how I didn't write this yesterday like you were expecting me to (I really did have a headache, for those of you who looked at the news). I'm talking about my writing process which is truly pathetic, but I have been unsuccessful in breaking away from it. I blame you guys.
Just teasing! ;) I love you guys. Anyway, back to my writing process. Let me show you how unproductive it is. Day 1) WOO-HOO!!!!!: I suddenly remember this story idea I had and think it's the best thing ever/I have a really cool dream that I think would make a great story/the world inspired me and I have a good story idea in mind. What do I do? I begin thinking about it of course! I think, and I develop, an maybe if the idea is lucky, I start writing in it. Even if I don't, I am still pumped about this idea! It's on my mind all through the day, and I go to sleep with it in my thoughts. Day 2) Woo-Hoo!!!: The story idea is still on my mind, and maybe I'll do a little project on it, like a drawing, or I'll write down what I developed (most likely), or once I did a family tree, or I'll fill out a character chart, etc. But I just don't care about it the way I did on the first day. Maybe I'll actually start writing it anyway (probably not :/ ). The idea is still on my mind the whole day, and I still go to bed thinking about it. Day 3) Woo-hoo!: I think about it all day. I go to sleep thinking about it. I mostly keep thinking about it because I have nothing else to think about. I'm not doing any developing. I'm not writing anything down. Day 4) woo-hoo: It's still in my mind, but I spend from the moment I wake to the moment I sleep trying to come up with another idea, bored with the one I have. Rinse, Repeat. For shame, I know. I should try harder, I know. One of these days I will finish. I refuse to die without being published. What's your process like? What do you think of mine? Comment!

MeA good chunk of you already know who I am, considering I sent you here, but for those of you people who found my blog by accident, let me introduce myself. My name is Madison Anderson and I was born and spent little more than half my life in Oregon (US for those of you who don't know and don't want to look it up), so it's no wonder I like the rain. I'm obsessed with Disney (bought myself a Woody doll and I'm so happy :) ) and books. I'm now into drawing, and whenever I get around to it I plan on selling my work.
