Do I channel as an artist or designer?

Since I am also an artist I am well acquainted with the process, though in reality artists work as differently as writers.

My fiction writing is often like painting in that I do not always know where it will go. Sometimes, though, I have a story that I do know where it is supposed to go, but I do not know the path it will take to get there.

An example of the first type is my story Duel of the Poets. Example of the second would be my novel The Red Scorpion.

Most of my non-fiction though is fairly intentional, in your designer mode, though most of my life I have compared it to baking cookies where you first assemble ingredients and follow a process. (The results are almost always quite tasty.)

Thanks for the stimulating read.
