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?

:0) I hate it when that happens.... and yet it always does. My fics never go as planned. Methos (particularly) always has his own ideas - usually they work out better in the end but it's still frustrating.
