Reading a post about writing on a mailing list has made me think. Advice was given that you should just write a story, do it all then go back and edit, change things etc to make it read better once the story is done. That's so different to how I work. I write, then re-read and mess about changing things then write some more until the story is done, at which point it's sent to my betas. I doubt I could keep writing knowing something wasn't how I wanted it to be. I can see the appeal in one way. I've been stuck on my TS story for so long as I just can't get a scene how I want it. Maybe just writing something to move the story on then changing things after would be the way to go. I suspect the reason I don't like the idea is because I hate editing. I love the actual process of writing, it's the going back and changing things that I dislike. The thought of writing a story and changing things after isn't appealing at all. However, it's something I'm seriously going to think about to get my AU going again.

I've been reading all the Thanksgiving posts and am quite jealous. I want to eat turkey and celebrate tomorrow, it seems unfair that some people get two festive days...sigh. (/jealous streak) Guess I'll just have to celebrate virtually with all the American's on my flist. Any of you that do turkey day set me a plate will you ;)

That's cheating getting your mom to cook and bring the food to your house.

But a very cunning plan, Lance would be proud ;)
