My writing formula..

I wrote out a little formula for my writing yesterday that goes something like this:

You start with a Good Idea.
You let Inspiration take you where it will.
You use Good Working Habits, to Keep it Fresh as long as possible.
You consciously use whatever Skill you have to shape it -- which you gain by Experience.
You Work It, taking whatever Time you need to gain Perspective.
You seek Outside Input, who can help keep you On Track.
You go back over it and Polish.
You take what you've done and Present it to the world.
