Yeah, it's the writing meme

From just about everyone:

Ask me one question - any one - about my writing, then post this in your LJ so I can satisfy my curiosity about yours.

Sorry, but I can't think of many intelligent questions to ask because my brain is all limp from work and a long commute home. I'll try to answer any questions anyone else has though.

Wow, that's pretty much exactly how I work, right down to the feeling that the beginnings of my stories end up being much more polished than the endings. (I do sometimes write out of sequence a little, but very rarely.) That's actually kind of reassuring to me... I know a lot of writers do multiple drafts with major changes between drafts, and that can really allow for a lot more flexibility than the way I write. I think it allows a lot more opportunity to fix things that don't quite work, but I just can't and don't write that way. I do a lot of minor tweaking, just like you, but very little in the way of major revision.

(Oh, and I'm exactly like you as far as the thing about having music or TV in the background goes, too, but you know that already.)
