I have hundreds of Word documents filled with pages of one-liners. If I begin to write a story, or if one of my thoughts leads to more than a couple paragraphs of writing, I'll go into these documents and pull out lines that I think would work with it.

I don't do the like, "This led to this, and this was why this happened." That doesn't feel real and isn't how I experience things.
