Worlds! And dithering, so much dithering

[icarus]

Eeee! The men's World Championship is on in five minutes!

Wrote the warm-up to John's short program for Out Of Bounds. Now I need to write his actual short program (or this other scene that's prodding at me). I'm wondering if I should include more of the other skaters or just focus primarily on John's performance.

Any experienced fic writers out there who'd like to do a little hand-holding? I'm dithering and second-guessing myself about these last few scattered scenes like you wouldn't believe. I need someone to tell me, "No, Icarus, that's a bad idea" or "Yes, Icarus, you should write more about the other skaters" and unfortunately my betas are busy right now.


ETA: Okay, this is just bizarre. I wrote a half hour ago that the warm up music is "Born to be Wild." The music being played for Worlds? Guess. Okay, it gets used a lot for figure skating, who knows why.

ETA2: Wow, what a night. What tremendous skating from the last group especially. More tomorrow after it has sunk in.

When in doubt, stick to John.

I agree with rabidfan. It's easier to add something than to scratch something again because then you have huge holes in the middle of a scene and they can be hard to bridge. At least that's how it always is for me. I think it's a thing of pacing. I don't know, do you want to draw it out? I'm sure you don't want to rush it, so solely John wouldn't be good. I'm for ... mostly John, but balanced with the others? Am I actually making sense? Probably not. Just ignore me, I'm still half asleep. *wanders off to look at shiny stuff*
