this is probably a really bad idea
I can't write. I don't have any words. They've all fallen out of my body and flown away, and it is terrible. I can't string more than two sentences together before I just lose sight of everything I'm trying to work on, and it's frustrating as fuck and horrible, and I just. Am stewing in my own juices at this point, and it sucks

Yes, my work is really dense sometimes, and overloaded with detail. I know that's a problem of mine, and I thank you for pointing it out. I have been trying to be a little sparser with my word usage, and I think maybe the transition is what's got me all in my head about it?
As for my process ... it tends to be all over the place, I guess? Mostly I write in order, but I've been known to jump around. I think the first and last thirds of every chorus I wrote in the right order, but the middle sections kept getting switched around, and then shifted, and then flipped. I think I'm more comfortable jumping around in the storyline with stories that jump around with their own time line, and writing in order for stories that are more linear. Which makes sense, I guess. I think I switch on and off, to be honest with you.
Thank you for the micro-fic suggestion. Drabbles with very specific criteria are definitely on my list of things to do, as mini-workshops or something.
And thank you thank you thank you again for the praise. I'm so glad you liked Shoot Down. It was my first fic for this fandom, and honestly my memories of writing and posting it are pretty hazy, but I think the warm reception played at least some part in how hard I fell in love with this fandom.
