What does Writing do for You?
I really should be sleeping. Really...I should. I have work in the morning >_>.
I'm a bit stuck on writing In-Fan-Tuation. I'm going to have to remove a fic and add a new one in because I realize it doesn't fit with the story...at all. This makes me sad, since it was such an awesome fic too. Ah well, gotta keep on trucking...
There's some new fics I've been reading, and I'm very tempted to contact the authors to incorporate it in my story. I don't want to change the outline I have too drastically though.
Aside from this, I've been wondering about my writing lately. A strength and weakness of mine is poetry; specifically imagery. I get so bogged down, drowned by the constant metaphors and similes flashing through my head, I lose the plot, the environment, and the characters. I have to catch myself because I sometimes worry more about the images instead of the plot. When I read my fics over, I wonder if the images are so strong, that the reader might get confused or lost in the images. I'm not sure.
I also wonder if the way I write affects my readership. Obviously it does, but in the sense of if readers are able to swallow what I write, if that makes any sense. I read my stories over and they make sense to me, and at times, I think that's what matters. Have you ever felt when you’re writing a story, you don't stop editing until this sense of rightness hits you? A satisfying feeling that tells you 'yes, you can move on to the next scene, the next big twist in this story'? I use this instinct as my guide. If a chapter or one shot doesn't settle well with me, there isn't any way I'll post it, haha.
I wonder, I do wonder...
