*looks at how 307 words in the first sea monster post has transformed into 1288 words in the one-shot when I've just hit the halfway mark plot-wise and am still on the first draft*

...Yeah, I think choosing to make the other ones AU posts was the correct decision.

#perp accidentally started venting about writing in the tags #it doesn't help that the self conscious about writing demons are kicking in #they need to stop and let me finish my first draft #i have to stop going back to edit the first draft #the exposition is important but I've also got to balance it with the dialogue and the inner thoughts #and I don't even have a TITLE yet-#I want to show don't tell and it's just so different from writing out exactly what I want to say and explain why/how I'm saying it #why have i done this to myself #I know why #It's because the end product will be amazing #but still #gaaaaah why is writing hard #perp writing thoughts #perp rambles #also i might kinda sorta technically still be at work right now #but it's slow today and I had to vent so a posting I will go
