Writing.....
Yay it's friday, and yay a little more progress on my hlh-shortcuts fic. At the moment it's not so much a fic as unconnected paragraphs.... This is however a step up from bullet points so progress has been made. It's funny how my method of writing changes between stories.... Some start out as random ideas in bullet points and get written out of order as paragraphs more bullet points get added and turned into paragraphs and then (hopefully) the whole lot is fit together. Others I start at the beginning, and just write without benefit of plot and see where it takes me. (Amusingly the one's which basically are bullet points were written in order, from start to finish in one go). None of them ever turn out quite what I originally planned and whenever I read them back I am always surprised by which bits worked and find things I didn't even notice before. I always do when I read other peoples writing, but you would think that having written that I would know it inside out . Does anyone else find that with their writing?

Writing, I usually start pretty close to the beginning, and power on through, but I almost never know where exactly the road is going until I actually get there. Sometimes to my beta and fellow writer's despair, no doubt *g*. I usually have a solid scene in mind, and a conundrum that must be faced or overcome, but I still sometimes surprise myself with the ending. Nah, I have to admit, I surprise myself all the time. Not the most stable writing style, indeed.

Sometimes I read back old fic and wonder if it really was me who wrote. If I look at some of my stories they are in such a different style from the rest that I am convinced they weren't in fact written by the same person but are instead beamed into my brain by aliens, or cats or something.
