Date: Thursday, August 25th, 2011 06:51 (UTC)Writing process. I haven't established one yet. Differnt fics developped in different ways. The ficlets started with a single idea and then it was a case of deciding how to lead up to the 'punch line'. Longer fic tend to start by exploring through writing, usually writing too much and then cutting it down.
Sometimes I make a list or table of actions I want to happen and then write the appropriate paragraph for each item.
A few times its been led by dialogue. This is the most enticing - when I can almost 'hear' the characters talking - but them I have to find stuff for them to do while they are saying it all!
