writethisfanficKeep tapping those keys! The second day of a writing challenge is when you can either say "wow, I'm on schedule! I'm maybe ahead of schedule!" or sometimes, "well, at least I'm not very far behind."
Discussion topic: Changing Plots. How strictly do you try to stick to your original plotline? Do you push to get the characters back on track, or just let them do whatever seems to come to mind? If they wander far from the original plan, do you keep the original plotbunny and try to use it later? When you want to get the story focus back, do you have any techniques you use--talk with beta, re-watch canon, watch that vid that inspired the fic in the first place?

Date: Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012 03:10 (UTC)I tend to change my plotlines, half the time the middle and end get changed a bit as I go along with the story. Mostly I'll change the plot if either I let my muse wander or if my readers/betas suggested the changes.
