I’m learning to spit it out. I think…
Actually, I may have already been doing it. My writer friends say, “Just get it down,” when really, I think I already have it down and what I’m really doing is refining and/or editing.
When I have an idea, sometimes it’s pretty involved and writing it down can get pretty lengthy. As I’m referring back to my “notes,” in some places I see where I’ve written a page and a half of what might be synopsis. Wouldn’t that be considered spitting it out? I’m writing the story down. It just doesn’t have all the details. So then, when I go back to fill in the particulars, isn’t that refining?
Hmm…
Maybe “spitting it out” is open to interpretation. In that case, I’ll keep on keeping on.
