Mary Poppins: The Intuitive Writer
Mary sits down, opens a new document and starts her first draft without anything but a kernel of an idea. As she writes, she populates her story with new characters and situations. And somehow, with a spoonful of sugar, everything comes to a happily-every-after ending. Granted, she will have a lot of editing to do. She must go back and weave in those characters who suddenly popped up. She'll have to edit in some background (Q-Factor) for a rescue that would be implausible without foreshadowing. But in the end, Mary Poppins always succeeds.
