Although reading is linear, writing often isn’t, at least for me. I started writing part 4 of Worst Date Ever at the middle, a very crucial point in the story. I just happened that the middle part of the story was flowing out of me. I wrote it all the way to the end, and I’m now working on the beginning. After that, I’ll have to give the story a through looking-over; sometimes a story that’s written out-of-order feels kind of jerky. It should be up by this evening.
I remember reading in Marshall McLuhan’s book Counterblast that typing changed writing: the speed with which one could commit words to paper increased, and writing styles became more fluid and conversational. I wonder how computers, with features like saving, cut-and-paste and outlining, have changed writing.
