not writing cause I'm writing

[beccaelizabeth]

I have made an exciting number of pages of fiction in the last few days, that number being larger than zero, the rough number of fiction pages or possibly words from the last couple of years.

I have every intention of replying to comments but I got distracted with story instead.

It isn't fanfic. And it isn't currently completely not fan stuff either. I threw some familiar characters at a Pathfinder module and it started generating story that was neither about the familiar characters nor fitting the plot of the module. What it ends up being I do not know.

Also today I was motoring along making Many Words
and then I realised
everything I had written today
was stuff I needed to know
and some characters already know
but the readers need to not know
yet
or the plot I sat down to write doesnt work.

It's not bad words, it's just words that need spreading across quite a few different flashbacks, I think.

Ah well.

I know how now, and the words will still exist later, should I write enough story to slot them into.



I dont know who would want to read said story, if it gets to readable state, given it is not fanfic, but that is an entirely separate problem, since this week I want to write it.

Which is neat.

Yay, have fun creating!

Yay to writing! Yay to wanting to write and also having the words and the ideas, all at the same time. That convergence is not obvious.
Worth remembering there is an audience out there for non-fanfic.

Yay writing! Even if it's stuff only you need to know, now you know it, and that's good.
