ok so have you ever been writing a story, and all of a sudden you feel like the whole thing is coming together in such a way as if it was totally meant to be?
Also, has anyone ever been writing a story and realize at some point that you've made obscure or bizarre references to something from the bible? or something like that?
Imagine my surprise when I find out how the story seems to be writing its self. and then there this really freaky reference to the garden of Eden...
Ok I'm not really a religous guy, but I got like, several things in my story that point to some mystery involving the garden or Eden,
and along with that, a "box and a key to unleash chaos" if ya know what I mean...
I really don't know how all this wierd stuff ends up in my book, but all in all it makes for a great mystery type story...
anyway, so any others come across bizarre or suprising things when they write a story?

I wish my stories would just come together effortlessly, as I had planned them.

Sometimes my stories end up going in a whole different direction than what I originally planned.

It's somewhere between what makes a great author, or a requirement for getting paid to write.

A writer never has complete control over his or her story. The story - and the story's characters - always have some influence on how the story goes.

Every story I have written has taken on a life of its own during the writing of it. It's like the characters are telling me where its all going.

It is a great feeling when I am in full flow and hammering out 10,000+ words a day.
