Thanks for your comments. ...Hi, Kathleen and Terry. Thanks for your comments. I wasn't fair to James Fenimore Cooper, of course. He wrote in an age when readers took time to enjoy prose full of long, romantic passages. On the other hand, Jane Austen was a contemporary of his, and I devour every word of hers with no impatience. Such different styles.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16028635002644119824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32407491425448969.post-14354325888271021022012-02-07T11:46:11.100-08:002012-02-07T11:46:11.100-08:00I think I would be a pantster, too, but for my fea...I think I would be a pantster, too, but for my fear of not finishing! I start with a list rather than an outline ... a list of things I want to cover (I've generally written memoirs, persuasive essays and poetry up to this point.)<br /><br />But my next will be a fiction/mystery, and I've already jotted down a few notes about the characters and the setting, and the general plot. These are more of reminders to myself than a formal outline.<br /><br />I love your perception of The Last of the Mohicans ... a comment often heard in the classrooms!<br /><br />Wishing you well, and inviting you to visit my blog or website:<br />http://terrysthoughtsandthreads.blogspot.com<br />www.beyondoldwindows.com<br /><br />TerryQuilters' Quartershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164862226942626710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32407491425448969.post-88444847331233976352012-02-07T06:41:31.396-08:002012-02-07T06:41:31.396-08:00My kind of writer!
