my stories... usually start with a character. A feel... a smell.. a motive or incentive.
OR
It's like my brain turns off and starts watching a movie and I either write what I see down - or I drown in it.
characters have conversations in my head - talk to me, each other etc. I've entertained my therapist but she hasn't sent me away yet so I can't be that bad off.. lol
I can't throw my books across the room - that'd break my kindle! My precious... lol
