yuuagoOkay, forget everything I said last entry about it not feeling like winter yet. We got a ton of snow dumped on us and today the temperature dropped to -19C. I had to rummage around in the basement for the box with my winter headgear in it, 'cause there was no way I was going out running around downtown in that unless I was wearing the furry hat with earflaps.
Looks like winter's here after all.
That said, here's a writing-related meme snagged from... several people:
I think it would be fun to talk about stories, but the usual memes are like, "What happens next?" "Tell me about Character A?" Which isn't so much talking about stories as it is writing more of a story. But you know how sometimes you read something and you're like, "I got ___ out of this story, I wonder if I have that right?" or "What on earth was ____ supposed to be?" and it's too awkward to ask the author? Now you could totally ask!
I've heard people say that writing is hard because you have to make decisions, but we never really talk about the decisions we make with stories or why we make them. We talk about plot ideas, but not about how we actually turn them into a story.
So, if you wanted, ask me questions!
What were you trying to do [here]? Why did you decide to ____? This is what I thought about xyz, is that what you were going for? What made you write ____? Why did you decide to do this? And so on.
Anything I've written applies here. My stuff is indexed here if anybody needs a refresher. Unfinished things posted on my drabble journal also apply, and I'll unlock (most) entries there on request. Unposted stuff also applies to those who have been able to read it. I guess people who're familiar with my old stuff could ask about that as well, though I doubt I can remember anything about the process or my intentions on those ones, so answers will probably be completely made up.
... And once again, I'm talking about writing more than I'm actually doing it.

And man, I haven't thought about that fic in ages. Now there are some parts I'd probably revise more, some small things I'd change, but I still like it.
I should do more stuff with those two. I love writing things with brothers, ahhhh.
