It's a Start

I've written about a 1000 words of a new 'Emily' story. So far it's pretty much all dialogue. I'll go back after and 'embroider', as I call it. That seems to be the way I tend to write -- conversation first, then the descriptive stuff. I get on a roll writing dialogue to the exclusion of pretty much everything else. Does anyone else do that, or am I just weird? (yeah, there's a question!) Though, I remember reading some thread somewhere a while back, where a lot of the participants said they didn't like descriptive stuff in their fanfic. I always worry I don't put enough in. But maybe I put too much. Do you like descriptions in your fanfic? I do, to a certain extent. I don't want Anne Rice style pages and pages of description, but I do like some.

That's good to know! I've always wondered if anyone else did it :) I think one of my strengths, if I actually have any, as a writer, is my dialogue. I'm never sure I do description well.
