I try that all too often, and it rarely works well.<br /><br />And I do research like that most of the time. It makes writing go faster.Cherie Reichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663147386014122939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240022922254733667.post-42911282410708411242014-08-14T02:49:00.040-10:002014-08-14T02:49:00.040-10:00Great advice to limit or control the research - be...Great advice to limit or control the research - because that can become so distracting. :) Margo Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474612650116392270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240022922254733667.post-86187328083752966492014-08-09T04:45:22.306-10:002014-08-09T04:45:22.306-10:00My very first novel was for myself.

In those days of ignorant bliss (it would be if one had no intention of publishing), I had never heard of internalization, characterization, adverb abuse, flowery language, blah blah blah...<br /><br />I *did* know of setting, plot, characters, sensory detail (my favorite), hooks...<br /><br />What motivates my writing? My absolute love for it!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://elizabethmueller.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">♥.•*¨Elizabeth¨*•.♥</a><br>Elizabeth Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028099814857743134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240022922254733667.post-50214277314428850472014-08-07T12:17:10.609-10:002014-08-07T12:17:10.609-10:00I like the idea of small bits of research at a tim...I like the idea of small bits of research at a time.

Some days I write nothing - then I'll get a whole chapter out... I am not consistent with my daily word counts. <br /><br />What keeps me going? The story inside me - it seems to have a will and a life of its own and a need to be born - although the labor is long and painful.

What motivates me is wanting to have another book out first, and second, when I get an idea I just must follow.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378428503220197256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240022922254733667.post-50232975374642910202014-08-06T11:10:48.818-10:002014-08-06T11:10:48.818-10:00My ideas, observations, memories, hopes for the wo...My ideas, observations, memories, hopes for the world and dreams inspire my writing. You're so right. There is an almost overwhelming amount of elements that go into the art of fiction. Together as writers we can muster through, gaining feedback and insights along the way.
