Thankfulness: November 17
lakeeffectgirl posted the same meme I did yesterday, and seeing her name next to it made me realize that the premise of the meme, that "we talk about plot bunnies, but not about how we actually turn them into a story," isn't actually true for me. I don't have a question for lakeeffectgirl because we've talked through a lot of that kind of thing on her recent work - and mine. And it's not just her I've had those kinds of conversations with. We have a whole "bitch about what you're writing" email thread with a few other friends and I keep having those kinds of conversations with other people too, from emails with inlovewithnight to Twitter conversations with icanbreakthesky to writing talk on drives to Sacramento with my mother. Talking about writing and process and what works and what doesn't is something I love to do. So today I'm thankful to be part of a network of people with whom I get to indulge that part of myself.
