I don’t think anyone could deny that Alfred Hitchcock was a master of filmmaking, a visionary. He often said he conceptualized his films so clearly in his mind beforehand that he was reluctant to film them.
He’d already seen them, in their perfect form.

On my current manuscript, I seem to be writing out-of-order. (Indeed, thanks to Steph, Larissa, Amie, etc., it seems to be a disease).

I’ve NEVER done this before. I’m a linear writer. I think one reason I haven’t tried is because I always worried that once I got the ‘good scenes’ out of the way, I might lose interest in finishing the manuscript.

This hasn’t happened YET, but I’m still apprehensive.

How do you write? In a straight, chapter-by-chapter fashion? According to a strict synopsis? By whatever inspiration strikes you? And if you’ve ever deviated from your norm, were the results positive?
