I'll do it up as a post and post it next week, k? :)<BR/><BR/>Love!Amy Laurenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16782528327499574711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081955273890368448.post-10085500886103776072008-09-17T21:11:00.000+10:002008-09-17T21:11:00.000+10:00"But I fundamentally believe that the more you kno..."But I fundamentally believe that the more you know about the technique of what you're doing - the how - the easier it is to do it."<BR/><BR/>But for me, the words flowed so much quicker and faster when I was clueless. (not saying that I"m not anymore.) But the more my head fills with what I need to be doing the harder it is for me to just write and have fun. <BR/><BR/>Granted most of my stories that I wrote when I didn't know how much I didn't know aren't sellable :-) they were fun.<BR/><BR/>Now, I get so bogged down with "digging deeper," characterization and the like that I struggle so much more. But I am coming up with a much better product. <BR/><BR/>Very good post Inky BinkyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081955273890368448.post-14711113619089221212008-09-17T11:48:00.000+10:002008-09-17T11:48:00.000+10:00O:)I think you've hit the nail on the head - the h...O:)<BR/><BR/>I think you've hit the nail on the head - the hardest part is figuring out /what/ you need to learn. If you don't know it, then chances are pretty high you don't know /about/ it, and how can you improve on something you don't even know exists?<BR/><BR/>I guess that's where a broad reading list comes in, with both fiction and non-fiction, your genre and others, stuff about writing, and stuff about stuff. The more you immerse yourself in the world of writing, the more likely you are to pick up on things you didn't know about before :)<BR/><BR/>Glad you liked the post.

O:)<BR/><BR/>I do agree though, you have an excellent fundamental point: you have to know the hows and whys of your craft if you want to become good at it.<BR/><BR/>I'm trying! Well, sorta. :P I should try harder, and figure out exactly what it is I need to learn...<BR/><BR/>Hmm.<BR/><BR/>Am linking to your post. :D<BR/><BR/>~MercMerchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164221022350926808noreply@blogger.com
