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.

Can you change 'camera angles' in your head when you visualise something so you can see it from a different perspective? I've found that being able to that can get a scene moving along that might have been causing problems.

Oh, yeah, that's no problem :)

Oh, yes, yes. Isn't that the most fun? You can wander all around the scene and watch it happen from all the possible angles as well as know perfectly well what everyone is thinking at the same time!
