I think once the author stops trying to force-write the thing they’d originally intended to write, it opens the possibility for their material to evolve into a better story than they could have ever imagined.

So true. I’ve learned this time and time again, yet continue to delude myself that I can actually plan these books. Ha!

Crazy, right? I used to think Stephen King was crazy for working without an outline, but once I started writing, I was like, “Oh…NOW I get it.”

Agreed with you all the way.
I recently discovered it’s great fun to set out the landscape, the general circumstances, introduce the characters and let them get on with it.
Best time I ever had writing.

Yep. Stephen King does it that way; I’m lucky enough to have that way work for me as well.

Man, don’t use me as a standard, especially one that is matched with the esteemed Mr. King, haha! I’m probably a touch autistic and a bit insane; that’s what allows me access to the craziness I output, LOL!

I find it amazing that a story of some sort falls out of my head when I had no idea was one in there when I started. It’s the starting though, sometimes there’s just too much life to do first.

I have a short piece I wrote 12 pages on, and decided 7 years later to scrap entirely for parts. Sometimes creativity also comes when knowing when and how to repurpose the parts when the whole is the roadblock itself.
