Here's mine:
1. Start with an awesome title and build. Background music is a must for mood-setting
2. Write away and let it flow out like watching a movie you've never seen but want to
3. Expand and experiment until a loose skeleton and general pathing begins to appear
4. Re-read and edit for continuity checks and to root out new ideas
5. Write to the end and repeat steps 3 and 4 if necessary
6. Final edit
7. Publish!
I know, a little strange and chaotic, but my writing, for some reason, is vastly improved if I don't plan too much. It's almost random, the way things spill out of my cranium, but the results can't be denied. I have become a little more attune to the planning portion, as you have to have
some organization when writing a full-length piece, but still try to keep it fresh and new on each and every page.
I suppose everyone just needs to find the style that best suits their personality and experience.
