This fic makes the Indian Pacific look straight as a die. Which... yeah. Scary. o_O

Ah, wordies. Why for you no match the picture thingies in my head? *forces round pegs in square holes*

You always say that, but maybe this IS your process. It's supposed to be all wonky and round peg-gy. Sure, it makes you crazy, but it works! If it ain't broke, don't fuck with it!

*feeds your brain pie*

I agree with Kim! Go with whatever works, dude. There is no *normal* in the world of ficcing. Or writing in general. The finish line is in sight - just keep on wobbling!

Stop agreeing with Kim! You're just encouraging her and her awful, supportive, wise ways.

*shudders*

You people make me SICK.

Oh, dude. I do believe you are correct. I wish there was a more economical way to write. Rather than, you know, writing every scene WRONG a billion times, and then eventually having the light bulb go on at 4:23am. Which means I have to get up, flush my head in the toilet and then shotgun a triple espresso so that I wake up enough to write my epiphany down. And that generally leaves me just enough time to run about making myself horrendously late for work. With my arms flailing in the air above my head. Like a muppet.

I'm not sure I should be calling that a process. Maybe a pathology.

This train don't carry no liars, this train
This train don't carry no liars, this train
No hypocrites and no high flyers, this train
This train is bound for glory, this train
This train is bound for glory, this train
Don't carry no one but the righteous and the holy
This train

*g* couldn't resist (gospel music and lyrics here )

Yay! First draft! Congratulations!

Sorry not to get back to you sooner--I've been away all week-- Of course, now that I actually look on youtube, there are a bunch of versions of "This Train Is Bound for Glory," by Woody Guthrie (not, like I thought, a traditional song, though everyone changes the words as if it were).
Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins
Bob Dylan

The fic is set in Texas, right? so it might be appropriate--

Also this truck
