When I started writing again after a long hiatus, I was all discovery writer. I'd sit down with a blank page and see what popped into my head. It made for interesting work, but also for a lot of incomplete stories.
These days, I tend to have an idea of what I want to write, what sort of character I plan to write about, and where I want a story to go. I still leave room for discovery, but I've learned that I need some direction to help me finish things.
All of which is by way of saying I did a brief discovery writing this morning. It's still fun. I have zero idea where that story will go, though, but I like the first couple of paragraphs. Oh well, I'll drop it into the "in progress" folder until one day I figure out what to do with it.
