:D Thanks! Sometime in December or January I will post more about the process of writing this thing -- I want to make sure I document this process before I forget, you know? But I can't let myself get sucked down that rabbit hole right now.
Definitely document it! You should keep a log or mini diary, but I suppose the snippets here and there on LJ are doing the same job, and as you said, you need to focus elsewhere.
Do you have a plan for your story? I'm always curious - I usually write on whim and not by plan, so these kind of processes are totally foreign.
Also, I added you on my other journal. Hope you don't mind. :))
I usually don't plan my fic at all, but I seem to stall out by 4000 to 6000 words if I do that. So for this story, I outlined -- by which I mean, I wrote a numbered list of 46 scenes, in the approximate order I'm intending to write them. The whole outline is about 1000 words, and I've done some switching of pieces as I go along, but it's still helping a lot. So I think that's the answer for me, if I'm gonna write anything long. :)
Since I'm assuming that you write in chronological order (I know a few people who don't), your outline must work really well. I must try this myself soon, whenever my dratted writer's block leaves me alone.
Will you be showcasing your story somewhere once it's complete and polished up?
