Sunday Writer's Forum

A terrific interview with Megan on Memphis Public Radio can be found here.







Question 2.

What is the average length of time it takes you to finish a polished story?

P.A. I would say a month. I might also be working on another story and go back and forth, but probably a month. I like rewriting more than writing and I think that slows me down.

Michael Bracken: Actual writing time? From a few hours up to about 10 hours, Rarely more. Rarely less. However, years may pass between the time I make notes for a story I'd like to write and when I actually write it.

Question 3

Do you outline your stories?

Michael almost never outlines and if he does, it's just a sketch.

I never do either. Even at my attempts at a novel, I just kept track of the characters birth dates on a chart. None of the plot.

How about the rest of you?
