“Why cacophony?” you may ask. Because it describes several aspects of my writing process, and does it on so many levels.
That’s how it feels sometimes when I’m really on a roll writing a book. The ideas can come so fast that feels as if the characters are trying to outshout each other to get their stories told.
And that’s pretty much what I end up with on the screen until I sort through all the typos made by fingers never properly trained to type. A cornucopia of errors. The typo queen hard at work. I do go back and fix them, but sometimes I’ll read a sentence and have no idea what I meant. Consulting with the characters helps with that.
I also like cacophony because I have all these books I need to write. The ideas fighting with each other to be next. “Oh, pick me, pick me!” Right now I have five other projects in various stages of completion because I had to placate each of them a little bit.
And finally cacophony because it pretty much describes my entire writing and publishing career thus far. But mostly in a good way. Yes, I think there is such a thing as a good cacophony. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Nice post, like it. Short, concise and very informative. I can relate, too, to the ideas clamouring to be born. Good stuff 🙂 Check out my A to Z for C…an experimental Choose Your Own Adventure story.
Thanks! I’ll check it out!
Thank you very kindly 🙂
This would be what I would be like if I could get the ideas to stop coming and actually sit down and write. Well, I take that back. I have a lot of ideas but not quite the right kind of ideas to produce a full story.
