Cool analogy ~ mine is tending my yard ~ the front lawn is mowed and edged (linear outline) and roses trail up the front, (characters make their voices heard), and the back yard is where experiments are planted beneath the maples, which Mother Nature tends. So it's mutable, and though I may know how I want the stories to develop, the characters have personalities and may push for expression (i.e., thistle is but a misunderstood flower)

Today's freewriting ~ characters vied for expression and dominance (antagonist became protagonist, maybe)

Me also, outlining tomorrow so linear for interlocked stories ~ maybe I'll try the 'snowflake' method?

Write On!
