#WritingWonders July 7: What is your favorite stage of writing a story? Why?
Supervillains have presentation. Writers have inspiration!
Specifically, that stage after the "hmm, that seems like an interesting idea" and before "and now the detail work" when The Idea just pours through your brain like lightning, as if you were channeling it right from the Muses' very own high-tension outlet.
There's nothing quite like it!
@cerebrate That part when you suddenly realise the random bit you threw in in Chapter 2 is going to be the essential hook for the plotline in chapter 15, but you'll only mention it in passing because you're going to properly Chekov it in Chapter 23 and you can't *wait* to write that bit!
