This is how I do it

[roxy]

I don't post any fic because once a week I reread my story and change a word. Maybe two. And then it sits again for another week. In my mind I'm up to chapter 40. In reality, I'm up to half a chapter. But it's half a chapter of *very* good words...interspersed with many mediocre ones.

Here are interesting links for you.

rednihilist 500 word meme: In a comment, pick any passage of 500 words or less from any fanfic I've written (telling me which fic it is). I will then give you the equivalent of a DVD commentary on that snippet--what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what’s going on in the characters' heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you’d expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

It'd be great if I ever finished anything I started! :D

I always wonder when authors say give me a snippet and I'll tell you everything about writing it how the hell they remember. I could never do it. So, more power to you!
