the fic writer in me

Aug 05, 2010 19:14

I'm trying to get reconnected to the fic writer in me. I've purposely ignored it the last two years and it was content to stay hidden. The biggest challenge in my writing is finishing/completing stories. I get off to a good start and then halfway through the plot putters out and writer's block grips me. This time around I want to write a timeline for the Epic Fic so I know where it's going and how it'll end.

Ah yes, the Epic Fic, the one that combines all the ideas I had of Lex/Lana and puts them into one massive, cohesive fic. The cohesive part will be the hardest. Have you noticed that  Lex/Lana fanfiction is notorious for short fics? The Kag/Sess fic writers are notorious for epically long fics---we're talking 50 chapters average. This is going to be a big undertaking. All the more reason to make sure I have the plot timeline solid. That is what pretty much distinguishes an ordinary fic to an epic fic.

Trish said she'd link me up with her L/L fanarts. I know they'll be dozens upon dozens and I cannot wait to see them again. Motivation, here you come!
