How Blair Began Writing
Blair started writing her dreams down, and turned them into short stories while taking college classes in writing. One of her instructors was so intrigued by a short story she wrote, and encouraged her to write it as a longer story, which she did, and it eventually became a novel. She again developed a short story, this one more of the science-fiction genre, developed the story into a longer one, and then developed it into a screenplay.
Blair's Writing Style
Blair took the idea of starting with a short story and then expanding it and made it her model for writing. Sometimes she starts with a chapter outline, which begins with twelve chapters and can evolve into more, as she writes. However, she doesn’t always use an outline, as sometimes it starts with a long paragraph, then a short story of 4-5 pages, then longer and longer, until it usually ends up being somewhere between 50,000 and 70,000 words.
