Just wing it

Winging it, going with the flow, letting the characters move us – that’s sometimes how it works. Granted, there are times we need to plan a little, some of us even have a comprehensive breakdown. Whichever side of the scale you predominantly belong, we fluctuate (or should that be pendulate?) in order to embrace our creative natures.

Writing is sometimes like getting behind the wheel of a car, without having a destination in mind. When driving is just for the fun of it, and the people you meet, the adventures you have along the way, all shape the experience and add to the thrill of the ride. At least that’s how it feels for me. It’s thrilling to look back and marvel at the miles (or words) that wove together. It makes you wonder who is really in the driver’s seat!

Thanks for stopping by
