Always interesting to see thoughts on the writing process from various authors. At the link, below, are six tips put together from a 1975 John Steinbeck interview. What do you guys think?
1. I understand the feeling behind this tip, but I do tend to have the end in sight, at least in my mind.
2. I agree with this one, and I think it is a very important tip (at least, it has been for me).
3. I think this is useful, and I've done it before, but I don't always do it. Maybe I should - thinking of a single reader, even a hypothetical one, can help focus the story.
4. I agree.
5. I don't know about this one. I've never experienced that.
6. Not a bad idea, but I don't do it and I don't think it is absolutely necessary.
