Questions for the writers

[onyxhawke]

Anyone who has taken a gander at my friends list has probably noticed that a lot of the writers on the list spend a great deal of time talking about their writing process. This should surprise none of the people who knew me before I started Eeeevil Agenting, really. It's not the writing process per se that rivets my otherwise gnat like attention, its information, and the writing process has to be about the most malleable set of information I can think of.

So two quick questions for the writers:

What is your favorite part of the writing process?

What do you do when you know you've done something wrong and haven't yet figured out what the source of that wrongness is?

1. My favorite part of the writing process is when I write something that was unplanned but sort of makes everything else make more sense, makes everything click.

2. I usually retrace my steps to the point in my story where I feel things started to go wrong, throw out everything from that point forward, and rewrite something that goes in a different direction.
