I knew it was going to be "Gardener Born" before I even clicked on it. ;)
UM, dialogue. I mean, I don't dislike description, but it was definitely something I had to LEARN to do, whereas dialogue (in character dialogue, if I may be so bold) came naturally to me.
And yes. All the time. Well, sort of. I mean, when I sit down to write something, I usually know the first and last line (this is true of 500 word fics and of my book (AAAAAAAH, MY BOOK)), but sometimes the way I get there is a word journey. That's what makes it fun! I'm a pantser (pro-term for "does not plan"), as opposed to an outliner, so I suppose this makes sense. :)

It's still so lovely. :)
Do you prefer writing dialogue or description? Does the end of a chapter or story ever take you by surprise?
