Holy crap, you wrote My Enemy, My Ally in ELEVEN DAYS?! One of my favorite books ever that was and still is one of my go to books for comfort (my copy has been getting a workout lately), that I still pull out and study for the gorgeous language and turns of phrase when my own writing is stuck?

*wanders away, shaking head* Evidently I still have a lot to learn…

Thanks for the kind words. 😊

And yeah: eleven days. (It might've been longer had my housemates not kindly taken on my snow-shoveling duties for that period. It was snowing a lot in Philly right then.)

This speed of execution (and the luxury of having the leisure to relax into language and dialogue issues) was made possible by having a very detailed outline—a "road map" very completely drawn in advance. ...That having been what sold the novel in the first place.

But then if you're going to work in somebody else's IP, no matter how talented you are (or think you are), you have to be prepared to demonstrate, via outlining, that you know exactly where you're going to be going. Trust me when I tell y'all that at the end of the day, Corporate will have zero interest in how you got stuck mid-story while you were "pantsing it." To work without a sufficiently-detailed outline in somebody else's universe is a near-guaranteed pathway to Only Getting Hired Once.

Meanwhile, more details on how to outline at this level of granularity—or whatever level you need—are here.

I want to be forcefully pet by at least two people. Like the way a group of people will gang up on a dog and pet it real hard and it loves it? I need that in my life. I need to not be able to keep track of the hands on my body.

write bad fanfic. write mediocre fanfic. write fanfic that a thousand people before you have already written. write niche fanfic. write fanfic that only a few people will read or understand. write fanfic just for you. write fanfic just for a friend. write ocs. write self-inserts. the fact that you’re taking the time and energy to put your ideas into the world is amazing and people who shame you for it need to find better ways to spend their time.
