Box of Tricks

Ive always started at the beginning and written to the end--I edit as I go along and once I get to the end, someone else edits. I rarely write scenes out of order. I do love the action scenes and tell myself firmly that I have to write the 'boring bits' (between action and exciting scenes) as interestingly as the action or no one will want to read them.

I can't write an outline to save my life and usually know the beginning of the story before I start and an approximation of the end. The middle sections just build on one another until we all arrive at the end, slightly surprised to be there!

My mother was a huge hot tea drinker, so I followed suit. I live for tea--it can be hot, cold, milky, Chai latte--however. I like tea.
