Something Unique About Your Writing Process:  In the early days, I used to plot everything out. Synopses, outlines, chapter breakdowns—the works. The end result was that I never finished any of the novels. Not one. For me, the meticulous plotting (a process which so many writing craft books recommended) drained all the joy out of the writing process. Now I plot everything in my head but don't write anything down, except maybe a few notes here and there for continuity. Since adopting this new approach I've completed six novels. Keeping it all in my head maybe risky but it's also a good way of keeping the current project alive in my mind, and it makes the writing process more fluid, open to change along the way, which is important to me. I always have an end-point in mind on every novel project, but I don't want to know every exact detail of how the story will end. I want to discover it through the characters and maybe along the way be surprised by some of the things which happen. Writing should be fun. I'd like to try and keep it that way.
