A Question

[soncnica]

*raises hand* I have a question: so, do you think that if you have 10k of a draft for a story, is it possible to get up to 20k!? Like easily up to 20k or will I have to sweat blood and tears and make up words that aren't even in the English dictionary!? I reeeeeally want to do this year's BigBang but I'm afraid that I'm focusing too much on a story that might make it up to 20k, while I could concentrate on a different story that also MIGHT get up to 20k.
*sigh* the worries of a writer ... no one said it was easy, huh?
So any advice, any experiences anyone would like to share?! :) I'll take it all!

Exactly. I love writing long stories, I mean du-uh, lol, but I never know if the PLOT of the story is 20k long. It could suddenly stop at 15k and ... then what?! Make stuff up!? No, because that would ruin the story. Add more words!? That would ruin the story too. I love what I'm writing, otherwise I wouldn't even go and write it, ya know!? I'd feel like 'ah this is crap, no need to bother with it, store it in a folder somewhere' aahhah :)

About the 2nd part -> oh I do that too!!! Hhahahaha, how cool is that!? Yeah, yeah just write scenes and then add to them when you are in the mood for that kinda topic :) awesome! :)

Are you doing BB this year!? :D
Thank you very, very much for all your thoughts. I appreciate them, because it's nice to see that other writers work/think the same way I do!!! Sooo awesome!!! :) Thank you :D

It's a neat trick to write scenes out of order, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one!

I'm not taking part in this year's BB. I've mostly moved on from the SPN fandom, although I always make sure I take part in the reverse bang. I'm more into NCIS now, and dabble in the Musketeers as well.

Good luck with your writings, I'm rooting for you all the way. :-)

It really is a neat trick, because you can't ruin any scenes, because you basically write the ones you're in the mood for. You don't struggle writing a cuddly scene, when you're actually in the mood to write something more dark :)

I don't watch NCIS or the Musketeers, although I do hear Musketeers is a good show. I'm not really in the SPN fandom, like I don't engage in any activities, except write stories&watch the show, but SPN is the only show that inspires me to the point of making me want to write :)
oh damn reverse BB, ugh, forgot about that one!!! So many stories to read, so little time :) :)

Thank you, my dear! :) And good luck with your writings too :D
