Today was my long day at work, made longer by train delays, so I didn't have the brain to do anything but a laborious snippet for Tumbling which is really not v. good at all, but sparked by a comment thread in this comm, so yay!
I've got TONS of WIPs, technically, b/c all the snippets I write for my 750 Words are in theory WIPs! Some of them get incorporated into other fics, some of them get put aside. A lot of them I don't really intend to use from the start; they're more... kind of brainstorming in fictional form? Sometimes I'll just write a little snippet w/the intention of just feeling out how it feels to write a character, or to get a better idea of how I think their mind works. Sometimes I'll write something the opposite of what I think (I'll write a ship I hate or a character I can't stand) just to stretch my mind a little, heh. I think a lot of my 750 Words snippets are the equivalent of playing scales on an instrument to warm up: worthwhile, but nothing particularly beautiful in & of itself. It's what it helps me get to afterwards that is the good stuff!
