I tend to think ...Thank you for the question, Nova! I tend to think of stories in scenes. Usually, my initial idea comes from a flash of a specific image or just a few lines of dialogue. With The Affair I envisioned a scene of an unhappy woman looking through colorful fabrics and wanting to go a bit wild and have some of that colorfulness for herself (this ended up being the very first scene in the story, actually, though it doesn't always happen in order). Then once I had that very specific image, I fleshed out the woman's background, why she wanted more, who her love interest would be, etc, as I wrote. Cale Cameron mostly came about because I think men who love books are sexy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01247134259094576985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-19477351164101489582016-12-20T21:09:00.795-05:002016-12-20T21:09:00.795-05:00I saw your comment on Facebook, Janice, but thank ...I saw your comment on Facebook, Janice, but thank you again!
