To answer your question, I have notes (all over) and then I try to put my thoughts together. I type or talk. As you know it can be a jumbled up and sometimes it flows or builds off of an experience. I used to write with West Branch Christian Writers and the group would submit articles after critiqued and would be in the newspaper. I loved those experiences and that fellowship. I also started writing this on the 3rd so I write, come back and try to sum it up.
