I have no idea how everyone does it differently with the same goal in mind, but hey, it works. ^_^<br /><br />My favorite part of the process is when I already have the plot and characters going, and I'm tightening up my notes, really fleshing out the who and the what and the why. That's when the story comes alive, when the characters start to talk to me. When I'm adding lines of dialogue to my plot, I know I'm there.Mason T.
