Very different beasts. :-)<br /><br />But the scene designing thing does help me avoid a few rounds of What's this scene about, anyway?<br /><br />I am enjoying the rhythm of this--if only the deadlines weren't <i>quite</i> so tight.

Also that you can watch and explain your process. It's much more of a mishmash for me. I jump into a scene and sort of watch it happen, or translate what's happening into words. Much less deliberate and organized, so then of course I run up against the problem of "what the heck is this about anyway?" So lovely to read how you are caught up in your days, doing just what you like and when you like to. I've had so many of those, and of course wasted some as well.
