An analogy that Allende uses is that of a seed. Seeds that are inside and need to grow. That meaning stories that are in your imagination and they need to be developed to be made into a book. If it has something to do with a history, then you should probably do some research. If it is and idea, then you should sit down and generate them to begin writing. Writing takes time and sometimes lots of it. Allende thinks that in a year, you should have a book done. Working with one thing at a time(one writing piece at a time), but if you have to work with researching for your next piece, that should be done when you have time. When you write you have to put pieces together by knowing who the main character is. If you know the type of main character, you should also think about the other characters that you want to add as the story begins to develop. Allende has a very great desk idea for writers that write books. She has dictionaries, her computer and lots of research on her desk. It is also great to have pictures of people that you love and inspire you.
