Michael K. Foster
It might not work for you, but it certainly works for me, is the process of observing things of everyday life and writing your ideas down. Yes, I keep copious notes, I need to, I’m the sort of guy who wishes my glasses had a dialing number to them.
The truth is, I never know what’s going to happen in my books. I don’t start at the beginning, neither do I work at the ending as many authors do. I work on an idea and expand on it never knowing where it’s going to take me. I call it my sculpturing process – just as a sculptor adds more clay or chips away at the subject matter. So if I ever do get writers block, I take a walk and think about another chapter!.
