Shelley Mickle
The story drives me. It becomes a search for the design that will best release the voices in the story. The process is glorious! I believe a book should be organic, living and moving on each page. So I let each chapter tell me what the next should be. I've been writing for over 50 years, so the process is intuitive for me now. I listen for the voice of the story to tell me what it needs and what it needs to discard.
