the prodigal returns
i've been off on a frenzy of non-fanfic writing lately. 11,500 words last week, and only 1500 of them were on my draco/hermione story.
i never did update on what was happening with that, either. after i saw "CoS" for the second time, i had a great idea for a scene to take place well after the beginning of the story, and spewed it out in an obsessive frenzy. (well, actually i had part of the idea the first time i saw it, but had forgotten by the time i left the theater.)
i came up with an opening sequence i liked to carry me into the scene in question, but once i'd written it i found myself very dissatisfied. on rewrite, draco slipped wildly OOC and i had to toss it all and start again. and now the intro scene doesn't work at all with the scene i was trying to intro, so i'll have to move things around some more. the story is in a shambles, and i think it would be best if i clean up what i've got now, slap it into some semblance of order, mark the missing chunks, and send it off to someone to beta and tell me if i've been smoking that cheap brown Mexican shit again.
also, after doing a fairly intensive read/review of both![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
isiscolo's stories, i'm feeling horribly inadequate. i'm sure i'll never be able to make events flow so smoothly in my writing. i need a lot of work in that area, and in the area of setting.
at least i'm a better editor than i am a writer. now if only there were a cafe near where my therapy group meets that was open past 6pm -- the one run by a rather interesting French dyke closes then, and there's not another place to sit and have a coffee in the evening for blocks and blocks. so sad.
