colinian Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I found this quote by Flannery O'Connor and I think it's both funny and often valid: "I find that most people know what a story is until they sit down to write one." Colin Quote Link to comment
Graeme Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 LOL -- very true. It's like any art form. Knowing what it is is very different to being able to create something yourself. Quote Link to comment

Nigel Gordon Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 I am not sure if it was Marion Zimmer-Bradley or Anne MacCaffrey who said it, but I remember a response to a question given at Fantasy convention: I always know exactly where my story is going to go - the problem is whenever I start to write I always find something more interesting. Maybe one day I will get down to writing the story I started off with. Quote Link to comment
