This is a bit of a personal question, but I'm curious like that.
How does the process of creating worlds and/or stories work for you?
With me, it's rather strange I think. I tend to walk around, telling stories to myself whenever I have nothing to do. (Such as on a train, while walking the dog, when I'm trying to sleep etc.) Many scenes for my stories are fully formed inside my head with pictures and everything, but the bits in between are often missing. I don't really have much choice as to which story I'm "working" on either. This leads to the problem, that I tend to jump between different things and often spend many days not writing anything only to have other days where I do really much. (The latter are much rarer though. Often I'm happy with the story in my head and shy away from the effort of putting it down on paper.)
All attempts to organise this have failed so far. It sort of worked for last years NaNo but I wasn't happy with the end-result at all.
Does anyone here experience the same and how are you dealing with it? Or do you decide that you want to write a story and what is supposed to be about in a rational way, which seems to be how most published authors do it?
