creative process
Aug. 20th, 2012 11:38 amSo, I was talking to my beta (is the term still 'beta' if the consultation takes place before the rough draft is finished?) during the process of writing my Natasha/Tony story and she mentioned that she writes linearly -- starts at the beginning of the story and writes until she's reached the end.
She mentioned this because I write a very non-linear fashion. I mostly start at the beginning, but then I'll skip forward to something that will happen later in the story and write that, then skip forward again, etc. And, as I go and write more, I go back and fill in the holes from both directions.
I was thinking about this and I think I started doing this as I got more and more into vidding, which has always been a very non-linear process for me. I basically vid and write in the same way these days, though they started out using different processes.
It made me wonder about other people's experiences -- how do you write/vid/create art? Has adding a new type of art changed the way you use a medium that you've been more familiar with?
