really enjoyed this window into your writing process. your ratio of 25:75 for write/revise is about my breakdown too (for my professional as well as fun writing). I usually try to throw down all ideas first as I have a real problem with a blank page (screen) but I really get going when hooking up fragments or fleshing out a dialogue. I don't, however, plan out scenes very well in advance. or if I do, the end product usually thumbs its nose at me and wanders off of its own accord.
couple of other qs that occurred to me: * do you always write/edit on-screen or do you need a hardcopy? * had you plotted out the whole story arc before even starting the sequel?
I loved reading King's book and have enjoyed a few of his novels in my time (against my expectations - yes, I discovered them in my 'sneering at genre-fic' days. he kinda turned me). argh. will stop before this is an entire essay. *g*
