sometimes to make the words go you have to get out a sketchbook and an obnoxious marker and let yourself be as dumb as you feel on the inside

unfortunately sometimes this leads to Plot Points™

Readers: Asking when hyper-specific events are going to happen in my fic

Me: *Who is making up 90% of my fic as I go*

[helga-leakadia]

When I was younger I wanted to go into screen writing or directing or something in the film industry. I remember learning as a kid that they did their filming out of order and while I’m sure that’s due to when and how long the production has certain resources or sites, but it made me feel better about the fact that I constantly write out of order.

Currently, I’m writing chapters 4, 6, 7, and 9 (roughly) of one story; a spin off piece to that same story; year four of my HP story when I haven’t finished year one; and multiple random plot bunnies.

I’m proud I’m getting a lot of writing done. But I’m annoyed that it’s so out of order and I still have to link them together somehow.
