Another writing update

[jedi_of_urth]

So I said just yesterday that I was fighting with this section of my big bang fic and thought ‘I’m not going to make it to writing smut this time am I?’ Well turns out I can completely change my game plan inside 24 hours because suddenly today I was like ‘No this totally needs to lead to sexy times and hey here’s a bunch of works to move us in that direction.’

Now I’m not so worried about making word count, and I kind of think making a decision on that front is helping me have a clearer goal for how to keep writing. Still I’d like to have the full rough draft done in the next week or so (I want to have time to go over it on my end before the rough draft is truly due, then I can still give my lovely beta a month for us to polish it) and I’m not quite sure I’ll manage to write that quickly. Guess we’ll see, if the muses keep playing along I’d say chances are...okay

(I kind of think my Elena and Elijah muses were tired of me writing angsty dialog (especially since Id written them a few extra conversations I've since moved out) and wanted to make out so said ‘screw it let’s just do it.’)

P.S. I'm also finally making real notes rather than just mental ones about backstory elements that are eventually going to come into play. All the muses were being happy today at least.

I always figure it's best to have a little of column A and a little of column B. I've got to keep some order, and obviously what I think makes the most sense for the characters is going to come through in the way their voices speak to me, but you have to give them the freedom to direct things too.
