The manner in which I write is actually a little strange, even to me. I don't do the whole "Start at the beginning and write the entire thing through". I write little bits and pieces of scenes that pop into my mind and then build around that.
Take Mnemonic, for example. The first scene I wrote in that fic was a scene in the second chapter. I had about three thousand words of the second chapter written down before I even started on the first chapter, and, well, we all know how well the third chapter stuff came out. (Namely in the fact that it wasn't supposed to end up the way it did, but turned out okay anyway.)
So, I'm working on Pants 'R' Us. And I have... oh, 6.6k written on it, by last count. That DOES include placeholders for scenes, because I figure that the scenes will be so much longer that it's like I have part of them written already. It's about 11 straight pages of the fic, no interruptions, and then it gets a little spotty. But I just really liked this one placeholder sentence that's in there, so I'mma show it to you all. (and yes, all of my placeholders look exactly like this, so I can't mistake it for anything else.)
(ALRIGHT, I DON’T HAVE MUCH IDEA OF WHAT GOES HERE, ASIDE FROM COPIOUS FACEPALMING FROM AXEL AND ROXAS)
I think I'm so funny....
