My writing style is all over the place, and the way I write depends greatly on what inspired me to write the story. For instance, I really want to write a Christmas/Solstice crossover fic featuring Methos and Romana, and I want the mood to echo this Christmas music video I found by Annie Lennox. So in my mind, I can picture the place and the mood - but a plot? Not so much:-P
On the other hand, hlh_shortcuts has turned out quite plotty, but the mood of the piece veers from amusing fluff to drama. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
I do know my writing is like my painting in one respect. I can tell in the first thirty seconds of a writing/painting session whether I'm going to produce anything decent that day. It's either clicking or it isn't.

And I obsess about my opening paragraph.
