Well i thought i would create this thread because i have been reading a lot of interviews and thoughts written in magazines and on the internet from famous authors. I came to the conclusion that if you hear something that sticks out to you as a good tip for your own writing that may help others in general, feel free to put it in here.
One i heard was of J.K. Rowling as she said she does not discuss her books until she has finished her first draft then she lets her editors have a go and start talking about it hten and working on the kinks of everything. Basically she said its because you bottle up all of your emotion for all the scenes and the storyline that you have all that energy and it comes out in writing instead of in storying telling in the old form of langauge riding the air. You loose the excitement a little bit and some of the original amazement you had with your idea.
It really struck me as quite a good thing to remember for myself as i love to talk about what its about and now i'm creating other book plots when i need to finish the first still, lol.
