Play Without Plot

[rj_anderson]

Taking a page from james_bow, I wrote fanfic for my own story tonight. 1,114 words of utter nonsense, really -- pure self-indulgence that will never make it into the book. But I had fun writing it, and that's more than I've been able to say for quite some time. For the last few months I've been so anxious to make the most of my precious writing hours that I'd forgotten what it was like to play, to write for the sheer love of the process and the exercise of my creative muscles. But tonight I had a crazy idea and I ran with it, and it made me very happy.

Also, I think I've finally solved the problem with Chapter Four. Phew! Farther up and farther in...

Hey there,

I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that I'm "friending" you :)

Thank you for your comment on my post in the INTJ community. I, too, am one of those "controversial" INTJs of faith. I could really identify with what you had to say.

Thank you for the friending! And I'm very glad my comments were an encouragement to you.

I shall have to remember this idea of writing fanfic for one's own story later, it sounds very happy and useful. *makes note*

Heh! Someone else who sees the attraction of fic-ing your own work!

Well, I've seen the latest House (fourth season premiere), and I wondered what you thought of it. Have you seen it?
