it's really not that difficult, except, well, it kind of is.

Lazy kind of weekend, which means I have time to write. Yay. Funny thing: during the week when I really don't have time I write twice as much in one evening as I manage to write during two days of weekend with nothing to do but write. I wonder why that is

It's a writing thing. It's like the muse works best when your mind is otherwise occupied with Real World Stuff; I usually want to write most when I have report cards to write, or, back in the day, when I had an essay or three due.

If you ever figure out the secret to Really Awesome Titles, please share!! I have a fic that's finished except for the whole title part.

What are you writing?

[alianne]

Oh, that must be it! Makes sense!

And oh yeah, that's pretty much where I am too right now. Finished a prologue and most of a first chapter and technically, I could just post the beginning, except... well. No title. I'm actually thinking about simply calling it "Multi-chaptered Fanfiction" and leave it at that. Creative, no? *headkeyboard* (Oh, wait. There's an idea. Hit the keyboard with your forehead repeatedly and use the result as the story title. Just pretend it's a foreign language and act all shocked and surprised when people tell you they've never heard of it.)

I'm writing Glee fic. What are you writing these days? :)

lol! Quite the interesting titling method. *g* Somehow I don't think you'll fool many people, however.

Sometimes I scroll through song lyrics to see if anything pops out, or I try to find a word or phrase within the fic itself that would work as a title, or once in a while there's a word that I associate with the feeling or theme of the fic, and then visit the thesaurus to see if there's a synonym that would work.

I do see the occasional fic on ff.net that's called 'Untitled'.... ;)

Oh, I don't watch Glee. :( Right now Haven has eaten my brain *points at icon*, and this year I've written several Castle fics that never made it past my personal LJ as well as a Fringe story or two.

NOO, it will work. IT WILL WORK, I TELL YOU. *nods*

Oh, thesaurus is my best friend. And even he fails me now. *sadface* LOL, I find it kind of funny, really. Having pages and pages of story, all of which are ready to be read, if there wasn't this ONE WORD (or line or whatever) missing.

Heh. I don't watch any of those shows. I've considered watching Castle, but I dunno... can't really make up my mind about it. *shrugs*
