Every­one has their own cre­ative process. You are well aware of the ways in which you “get it down on paper,” but how do other peo­ple do what they do?

Hit and Run Mag­a­zine has the pho­to­graphic evi­dence of writ­ers’ work, as it gets done and the evi­dence is fas­ci­nat­ing. Notes scrib­bled in tiny hand­writ­ing on receipts, doo­dles and sketches in the mar­gins of note­books, a desk com­plete with a stiff drink and a pack of cigarettes–each photo a lit­tle win­dow into the behind the scenes work that goes into being a writer of any kind.

I encour­age every­one to share their own images of creativity-in-process here and, bet­ter yet, you can share images with Hit and Run:

It’s that time again. Time for you to sub­mit. Dig in the closet. Look under the couch. Check the trash. Some­where, you’ve got some notes for a poem, story, novel, or bank rob­bery scheme.

1) Type “Sub­mis­sion” in the sub­ject line. 2) Insert a brief bio in the body of the mes­sage. 3) Attach a jpg or gif image of your sub­mis­sion. 4) Include a title for your piece. 5) Email to hitandrunmag@aol.com.

Five fin­gers: five steps.

There are approx­i­mately 650,000 pub­li­ca­tions to which you can send com­pleted sto­ries and poems.This is not one of them.

If camera/scanner chal­lenged, some kid will do it for next to, but not, nothing.
