It...Completely agree with damyantiwrites point.<br /><br />It's funny how that can happen. When we write it can come from our subconscious, we're writing about what we know, from the heart and therefore it flows easier. I suspect that's why it ended up being a good piece that you wrote. And I wouldn't worry too much if this ends up often happening. No-one else would know it was about your mum if you don't mention it. Change the setting, change the names, just keep the essence and emotion - half of my current novel is built from memories/recollections that I've subconsciously ended up writing down.<br /><br /><br />warm wishes<br />xBluestocking Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502764742097142372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693881210864987514.post-72084678121610280132011-04-12T02:06:38.100-05:002011-04-12T02:06:38.100-05:00Our subconscious is our creative side, and it rese...Our subconscious is our creative side, and it resents any sort of controls in the shape of outlines, plans, etc. <br /><br />So when we write with our creative side, the story comes out different than the one we originally planned, and that is ok. <br /><br />Go with the flow in your first draft, and once you have finished your story, let it be for a while, a month or more, and then go back and evaluate it. The later drafts would be a good combination of creativity and logic, and will come out better and better with practice. <br /><br />My two cents :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
