SNAFU update: part 4 of Beg Me For It

[icarus]

I am scared of this fic.

I have 24 post-its, a stack a 1/4" high that I'm finally transcribing.

Post-it #1 just worked out to be 10 pages of fic.

*Icarus does math. No. This story can't possibly be 240 pages long. Some of these post-its have to be shorter.*

I'm exhausted just writing this story. Reading it has me limp as a dish-rag.

You guys ever have a story where the action just overwhelms everything else? What do you do? Beat it back with a chair?

Most of my multi-chaptered fics are high action. . .

It's a hard thing to write. Especially if there is a lot going on, and lots of confusion, and many important things seem to happen all at once. And you want to capture it all, but you don't want to get too bogged down either.

UGH! I feel you baby. I love this story. It's one of my favorites in the whole fandom. So I'm beside myself with excitement that you are working on it, but I DO understand the stress of writing action.

(((hugs)))

Thank you, thank you, thank you. That helps to know that I'm not crazy, my fic is. :D

Plus, you are writing something you don't usually write. . .And that's scary in itself. We all tend to over worry when we are a bit out of our element.

You tried something new with The Hat Trick and that was brilliant! You seem to be one of those lucky people who thrive when put to the test.

That's the real issue. But I take heart from your words!
