Fic writers who finish things: what do you do when your fic thoughts are just swirling urges and no actual story ideas or even images – just “I want character doing x” or “I want a scene where y” with no connecting logic. Does that ever happen to you?
Notes, lots of notes. And snippets. And tumblr posts that go “wouldn’t it be awesome if…”
Sometimes once you start writing a snippet, an actual plot shows up.
I also remind myself that not every idea has to be written.
I write stuff down too. Sometimes just writing down a scene from my head is enough to spark a plot bunny. Or showers help. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been ruminating on something, take a shower, and the answer pops out of my head.
