superhero_muses--Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?
I'm actually even unusually rigid in this area--it's gotta be from start to finish. I don't even know why, but if I'm jammed on a scene the story's not moving anywhere until I get unjammed. Maybe it's that I'm afraid that if I skip it, I'll write lots more of the story but never be able to fix that early scene, and thus it will never be completed?
My Yuletide story is done, betaed, and uploaded! And is almost 3x longer than any previous Yuletide story I've ever written--I guess I was inspired? Now I have to resist poking and tinkering with it too much and move on... How about you? What's drawing your attention this week?
