What sorts of tools do you use? Do you mostly work in a word processor or do you use software like Scrivener? Or even just plain pen and paper?

Describe your writing process. Do you outline or plot your stories out before tackling the actual writing?

Most concep…moreSo far, nearly all the stories I've worked on all started as something totally different, and most of those haven't seen the light of day. Most conceptualizing starts with, "Wouldn't it be cool if..." For instance, my current project about an interstellar adventure started as an idea for a video game that had none of the story or characters. That didn't work out, but the core concept stuck with me. Years later I had some ideas as to how to turn it into a book, but it would have been longer than I would have liked. A buddy of mine suggested writing it as a series of shorter stories, and the idea stuck. In short, my current recipe is 1 part neat idea, 1 part running the idea past my wife, 2 parts serendipity, and gin to taste. Then boil for 3 to 5 years until ready to write.

I do use outlines, but I tend to keep them on the general side. I've found that stories (especially in regards to the characters and their actions) tend to write themselves as I go, and keeping a outline that can be fluid stops me from boxing myself in. It's just enough structure to keep myself from going too far off the reservation, but not so much as to be confining.

Great question, sir! Thank you for asking!(less)
