Thanks, Kathryn, for letting everyone—especially other writers—have a glimpse into what writing is like for different people. It's fascinating how many similarities there are, and even more fascinating to discover the differences. I once had a writing coach tell me not to write the words "Chapter One" before I had a full outline and some character sketches. That worked for her, and she was a fabulous writer. For me? It was a death knell. The more I think I know about a story before I write it, the harder it is to write. I love a blank page, and my characters tell me what to put on it.

Several of these give me food for thought, particularly Nohelty. He asks a great question: how can our art nourish and not take from us?
