Even when I try to write PWP, one-shot smut it turns into a frakking NOVEL!
OMG! I must have some kind of mental disablity that makes me incapable of writing drabbles or ficlets or anything even remotely SHORT! I started writing some slashly Luke/Noah (AU Victorian) Christmas smut right after Christmas, which was great because my fic writing mojo has been on a sebatical for a while now. I was all excited and the such **snort** because I had this idea for some porntastic victorian Nuke fic and it started flowing instantaneously (much like the how the Oakdale Teleporter works, yo!) but holiday stuff and family visiting got in the way of my smut writing, so I didn't get back to it until this week really.
Here is where my problem comes in. It's already nearly 9 pages long in Word! Hello, it's supposed to be pointless, plotless, boom-chicka-boom, hot and dirty man!sex but it got all angsty (and porny) and muti-positional-y and LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!
I always do this! I start out with a great idea in my head and it gets bogged down my my incredibly verbose writing style! I just can't be concise and brief! Wahhhh! I so envy writers (of fic or the paid type) who have that spare, simple style. I fear I suffer from JKRowling syndrome. Once the fingers start typing, there is just no way of stopping the loads and loads of words that will end up on the page whether I want them to or not. Like JKR,I just can't seem to tell a story briefly. I suppose that shouldn't surprise me since I can never shut the hell up in real life either!
Oh well, I should go make dinner. The smut will have to wait until later. I finally got them to the point where they are going at it like Victorian Gay!Bunnies but I always get stuck before the "money shot" ya know? My poor characters! They've been shagging madly for WEEKS now and have yet to actually come. They must be about to explode. Let's hope I can manage to get that bit down on "paper" tonight.
