nemeruWell, technically not but I'm working on it now but it's so slow going... It's an H/D one and I have no idea if I'll ever be able to finish it or actualize it in any meaningful way. So far, I have a scene, or part of one. I want to establish things but I'm chanting to myself "show, don't tell" and I end up revising it and deleting and rearranging my part of a scene that I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. I'm trying to write concisely but I've never been very good at this... Having not written anything for years now, I'm not even sure I can. It's a HP fic and I don't feel as good with HP canon or facts to write a convincing piece of fanfiction in that universe... *sigh* This sucks. I'd forgotten how hard writing is for me. As of right now, I feel like I want to combine two different scenes together since my first scene seems a bit unnecessary... I don't know. We'll have to see how it goes I guess.
Anyway, the story will be titled One Good Man and is in Harry's POV. I'm hoping for something along the lines of 10,000 words maybe more around 20,000 but I don't want to be too ambitious. As of right now, I want a happy ending but this is begging for something that isn't. I don't want to leave it open to a sequel so I might try and wrap things up right now. All I want to do is to stay truthful to what I like and don't like in fanfics and to convey my idea well. If I can do that, I will count this writing venture a success... But I have a hard time just making myself continue writing the fic. I keep writing a sentence or two, getting fed up and closing the file down. But then I open it back up with a renewed drive to write -- only to write another sentence or two, change some things and give up again. So slow going... I'm at about 500 words now so it's really nothing but my part of a scene...
*deep breath* Stay true, stay true, stay true. I will revise later, maybe I should just write? Ah, I don't know... :\ Enough procrastination -- going back to it now.
