The Writing Process

4/1/2012

        I was talking with a friend of mine last night (Martin) about the writing process. I have always tried to find the answer to the question, Do you work from an outline or do you, as Robert Frost did, begin at the beginning and write until you have said what you wanted to say.  
That  question intrigues me, because it is at the heart of the writing process. Unless you have the answer to that question, you really can't proceed effectively. My thought for the night. 
        I passed the 80,000 word mark in Blood Moon. The end is near! I don't write from an outline, by the way. That's boring. It's nice to be surprised when you come to the end.

    Richard's first two books in the Cooper Mystery Series, Cooper's Moon and Blood Moon Rising will have a grand finale coming out this summer, 2020...In this next book, A Cold Copper Moon, readers will learn what happened to Detective Cooper's son, Maxie. Remember? Max disappeared 8 years ago. I promise I'll give you ample clues, but the end provides quite a twist! Let's see if you can figure it out... I doubt it. No early readers have so far.
