Man, some fanfiction feels like you're writing with a broad brush, splashing paint all over the canvas, not too worried about what gets where as long as it's bright and fun and vibrant and pulls you in

And then there some fanfiction that feels like fucking surgery. Why is my heartrate picking up as I very carefully transfer one paragraph to another part of the page, going so delicately because I'm worried I'll break the thread of my thoughts and the entire web of plot is going to crash down to my feet

#on one hand: this fanfiction is very fun to write because it's very involved and requires every single preceding bit to fit together properl #like a domino chain #on the other hand i feel slightly like i'm going insane as i try to remember which characters were where #how much time has reasonably passed #have i laid enough groundwork for this? does it makes sense? does it make sense for the reader? does it make sense for all these characters #and who's pov should be surgically planted between these two other scenes #i'm going to be so happy to get this done but i'm getting close to end game and i ALWAYS get writers block towards the ending of a fic #bene speaks #ignore me #i've just been bashing my head against my keyboard for the past couple days as i try to get more of this written
