Hi Kathyrne,

Your ‘organic’ writing process makes for good life philosophy, too. Letting things take its natural course is always a good thing. Your book sounds wonderful. I love magic & love stories. Will be reading this one!Best wishes.

Kathryne, wonderful having you at Magical today! I love your process, and mine is so simliar. I basically follow my characters through story, and love the exploration like you discussed. So important, since the fun for me is so wrapped up in that process.

Your novel sounds fabulous, and I must order TFLL today. Much success your way!

Hi Michelle! It’s a pleasure to be here today! I hope you enjoy TFLL, and thanks!
Sometimes I still wonder if I know what I’m doing, so I’m not sure if that feeling ever goes away. But I trust myself more and more with each book, and I totally agree with you that it’s what truly matters.

Kathryne, thank you once again for being our guest today. I have TFLL on order, I was hoping to get it before I left for Orlando on Sunday, but alas, no.

I love your comment about trusting ourselves. I think that’s key, even if I sometimes wonder what the heck I’m doing .

Thank you for the kind compliment, Deena! And I’m glad that the term ‘organic’ describes your writing process better and helps you to visualize it in a more constructive way. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing!

Kathryne,

I just love your writing! And I agree with your terminology “organic” writing better than “pantser”. I was just saying to a friend how I find my writing process to be organic in nature. Pantser, to me, implies flying from the seat of my pants, but I don’t. I listen to my characters and the story they’ve created thus far to move it onward. It’s a symbiotic relationship, writer and character. You are one perceptive lady!
