Well, shit

I hate it when this happens, but I have come to the conclusion that I have to chuck the current Fusion story. It's not working at all. I have some different ideas, which will require fast-forwarding the timeline a bit. It's not all bad, but it makes me wish I had given up before having 10,000 words' worth of a fic attempt. Feh.

It's not the first time and certainly not the last that I'll end up chucking thousands of words' worth of fic. I estimate I have at least 75K of words that will never see the light of day. It is what it is.

In other news, there is a pretty big snowstorm outside, the first of the year for us. I'm hoping for a quiet night during which I might be able to get some writing done. I have a high seas AU to write before December 18th, after all.

Sucks that you had to scrap so many words. I've got the same thing going on. I know where I want to go but it just not rolling. Working on attempt 3 for what I thought would be the easiest bit of my little story. It's frustrating as hell.
I'm glad it's Fusion you are working on though. It'll be worth waiting for though.
