fanfiction fun??

[rose_griffes]

As I've been whining to daybreak777 about writing, this idea came up: I should be having fun while writing. Huh?

[Poll #1789400]

I thought about letting y'all select "I reject your binary choices!" but then the choices wouldn't be binary, would they? So if you want that to be your answer, you'll just have to comment. *grins*

Writing fic is slogging through the muck of misplaced, context-less words, arranging them into some semblance of order, then hosing them down to remove the remaining debris. It's not fun, although I do sometimes find it satisfying and I nearly always like the finished product.

What about you?

This is how it's been for me for the past couple of years. And then I stumbled into a story that I really, really want to tell, and suddenly it's kind of effortless. IDEK! I now have what's more or less a fic OUTLINE that just hit 30,000 words! It's kind of freaking me out. O_O

Yay for effortless! (An outline that long is... mind-boggling to me.)
