saoneWriting, or trying to.
Do you ever get in the middle of writing something, and you know where you want it to go, and you know how you want it to get there, but there doesn't seem to be any way in hell it's going to happen?
The dialogue, the characters, the scene -- nothing is working out the way I want it to. And I know you can't force these things, so I thought I would back off and see if something would happen naturally. It hasn't.
This isn't a pivotal scene, but it's a transitional scene, and it has to happen one way or another. Unless, I just skip over it all together? Hmmm. That might be too awkward, though. Argh.
Meanwhile, even though I'm stuck on this one fic, another one has just been pouring out. Yes, it's another VigOrli, but what's weird -- I mean, really, super freaky weird -- it's a fantasy. It's set in modern times, but it's got this huge fantastical element to it, like magic, and elves and faeries... I don't do stuff like that. Ever.
Maybe I'll throw in a couple zombies to make me feel better.

or just have a gratuitous homoerotic moment *g*
Gav!
