I think I should make some sort of resolution to write in this at least once a week. I'll probably end up writing it in once or twice a month, but if I at least make a point to TRY to write here on a schedule something will come of it. Maybe. LOL, the pressure's on. Mona knows I have a blog now and will be asking for more Furuba fics. (oh wait, she already did!) She's a good motivator though. Knowing someone is waiting really makes me want to write more. It's a nice feeling knowing that people are reading and (hopefully) enjoying what I write. I'm stuck right now on the latest chapter of "A Mystery". I keep wanting to skip ahead, but I've got to lay out the plot more. When I come up with a story I don't have it all solidly in my head, I have "scenes" that come to me almost complete but the rest is all really up in the air. I take those scenes and then figure out how to link them up into a cohesive story. The "linking it up" part is the hard part, I get so excited when I get to one of the scenes I envisioned earlier. Those just fly off the fingertips, so easy, so effortless. I always want to skip over and just write that. But if I do that, then I never go back and write the story inbetween. People really respond to those bits though...whenever I get to those parts I always get the most comments on them. I hope my stories seem cohesive though. I really spend a lot of effort on the "inbetwen bits" to make them seem as well thought out and planned as the scenes that I start out with. I do wish I could come up with a good idea for a non-Yuki/Tooru/Kyou centric fic. I'd love to write about some of the other Juuninshi, or Hana-chan and Uo-chan...heck I think some stories about Tooru's parents would be pretty nifty. But I just can't think of any. Oh well, maybe when I've finished the ones I've been writing so far something will come to me.
