I am very much a linear writer. Not necessarily a linear thinker - I often know the end relatively early, and I certainly come up with lots of scenes that will be slotted in a later moment. But as far as the bulk of writing goes, it's like I have a story idea, important scenes that come up and that are sort of like islands, and then I have to canoe from one to the next. Partly, I think, because I am also a first draft = last draft writer, I don't find structuring short pieces too difficult, but long ones -aargh!
