Writing Process: Capturing the Elusive Novel

One of the topics that always seems to generate a fair amount of interest here on the blog is "writing process" posts -- and specifically, how one goes about approaching the writing of a long work of fiction, which is of necessity a rather complicated process. I've talked about my process off and on over the years, but I thought it might be interesting to hear other voices give their take on their approach. Heck, I intend to learn something.

So here's the first in what may be a series...

I asked Joshua Palmatier, jpsorrow here on LJ, to talk about his writing process. I had the opportunity to meet Joshua for the first time at Denvention, and had the pleasure of talking with him at some length at the DAW dinner there. He's an interesting fellow, and a terrific writer. If you're not familiar with his work, you should read them now. And if you'd like to get to know him even better, his website is here.

But you don't want to hear me talk -- this is Josh's forum, so let me hand over the blog to Joshua.
