Writing.....

[fractured_sun]

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?

I /love love love/ your icon.

I tend to start at the beginning and write in order these days, although I have notebooks full of ideas/notes especially for the longer stuff. Sometimes I wonder why I do those as things change as I go along. Muses do what they want, and ignore the plan. Some are worse for that than others.

It was created by arenee1999, probably for one of the hl_stills challenges... they have some fantastic icons for sharing, you should go take a look...(there's always a high percentage of Methos too, which keeps me happy).

my Methos muse is terrible for that... and he never stops talking :0)
