Class project

[veronak]

I have a class project in which I am suppose to interview a professional writer about his/her composing process and was wondering if anyone (who is a professional writer) would answer a few questions. I would really appreciate it

* What kind of planning do you do before you write? do you make a list? Formal or informal outlines?

*How do you compose your drafts? do you dictate? Draft with a pen and paper? Compose on screen?

* when you want advice about style. grammer, and spelling what source (s) do you consult?

* Do you ever work with other writers to produce a single document? If so describe the process you use

Thanks

Re: Class project

Perhaps you could find an interview with a famous writer online. Maybe your favorite author?

Im sure the questions must be similar.

My ex is one, but if it wasn't for the very small complication of us being divorced, I would've gotten her to help you.

Have you tried looking for some kind of online writer's guild or forum? Surely, there has got to be one on the internet somewhere.

Re: Class project

So what do you mean by professional anyway? Does that mean fantasy writers need not apply? OR only paid writers accepted?

Re: Class project

To a later date? If so, that's good, right?

Not for me i was sooo stressed today and then right before class my friend's friend cme through, then I had to type up everything, now I go to class and she changed her mind because some people did not do the project. Also we had another project that she changed her mind on she wants us to use power points after I typed everything...I guess you're right at least I am ahead

Re: Class project

I sent a card to a writer asking him if I can co-write with him for a comical story entry. Of course he didn't agree, we ended up as 'competitors". Guess who won?.......................


it was him jajaja
