Day Fnarg.
My muse returned! \o/ I actually *wrote* stuff last night - specifically the big argument that I know I've needed since I began thinking about how this story would unfold, but that I never quite knew how would work, and now I've got it! (It's a GOOOOOOOD argument, oh yes. It fills me with glee. Just wait!)
Anyway, reading through the first chapter - well the first half of the first chapter, I think I'll have to split it into two it just THAT long - I began to have a definite sense of how to craft it. Not sure that's quite the right term, but I don't know how to explain it - that thing where you look at half-finished stuff and know where you want it to go, and how it'll all hang together. Fixing all the maybes into place. Seeing the statue in the block of marble. That kinda thing. And it's lovely. :)
And just by the way, do other people keep an 'extras' document with all the bits they cut out of their fics - or is that just me? I just hate the idea of losing something that might come in useful later.
