I was reading the James Clear story this AM, and it was pretty eye-opening, particularly that he didn't actually know the story or points he was trying to make. Rather, he was collecting a bunch of anecdotes and then would work it into a narrative later.
I've done something similar with ~100 pages of notes and it was a train wreck trying to iron it into something useful
- johnchristopher 4y agoI remember reading an interview with Gibson and he described his writing process as "I have these ideas and pieces of the story but all intertwined like a messy audio tape out of its case". I don't know if he tries to iron it out when submitting the final script, what I like in his style certainly feels like the tape hasn't been neatly put back together.
