A lot of times I know the story I want to tell. Often I'll write a vague outlines. But most importantly, before every chapter, I pretty much...stare. Scribble a couple of things. And then, when I know what I really want, I spill. (I have been known to suddenly shout things when driving a car/staring at my computer: YES! YES! OF COURSE THE MAGICIAN KILLED HER!!!! etc.)
But they are talking back. Mrrrrrrrrrrp has to be translated as 'I really like your use of metaphor in the last paragraph, keep up the good work' otherwise why do the kitties hang around?
