“I don't work with an outline, except a vague one in my head, a general idea of character, place, arc... I'm like a composer with a symphony in their head: I can hear the music, I just have to figure out how to put it down on paper. But I don't always know where my stories are going when I begin.” KnowsI CanIdeasCharacterStoriesFiguresPaperComposerVagueSymphonyOutlinesArcs Author:Said Sayrafiezadeh
“I sometimes have to write for a while before I figure it out, pretend that I know what I'm doing, sort of like ad-libbing on stage until you remember your line - you hope you sound convincing to the audience. The key is to have enough material, enough threads, so that there's something that can be satisfyingly drawn to a conclusion.” KnowsWritingSometimesEnoughRememberSoundLinesAudienceStageFiguresMaterialsKeysConclusionAdsThreadConvincing Author:Said Sayrafiezadeh
