random thought about writing and a rec
I've been accused of writing stuff that doesn't go anywhere. Plotwise.
In my creative writing class (semesters ago), someone commented with, "But nothing really happens in her story."
And I wasn't offended or anything. Never been really good with grand plots and all. And the professor said, "Well, does anything really happen in real life? It's about writing what you know. Some of the best writing is about things that might seem ordinary, but are full of meaning."
Not to say that my writing was particularly good.
It was really an insightful piece of advice. And I fall back on that everytime I write something. Because I can't deal with plot. I just can't. It's a big obstacle for me when I write now. I worry that I don't have a solid plot. I worry that I meander and spend far too much time on the small things.
But it's ok.
Also, so this post isn't completely pointless:
A Bruce Wayne/Jim Gordon fic that will blow you away: Go Your Own Way by
lettered. Start with chapter 1! There's kink, and lots of porn, and thinky porn, no less. And lots of emotional porn, too, and angst and saying things without really saying them. And just all around a gorgeous, beautiful piece of writing. A very interesting and new take on Bruce Wayne as a character, and the Bruce/Gordon relationship. The author's summary: Bruce Wayne spends time on Jim Gordon's side of the tracks, as it were. If you only read one Gordon/Bruce fic, read this one.
Ooo, also. I've started writing Birds of Prey fic that aspires to be my first femmeslash. Blame it on the dvd set I just bought and devoured. I remember when it was on the WB, and I loved it but don't think I ever finished watching it.
And I've managed to cobble together a masterlist stickypost of all my fannish works here.
AND! New Supernatural Thursday night! And BSG Friday!
