breathing with words
Sep. 30th, 2010 07:48 pmI haven't written anything, really, in more than a year -- probably closer to two.
In the past 2 or 3 days, I've been almost consumed by an idea (I can't call it a "plot bunny," for that's far too innocent a term). It's not original fic, and I'm not sure it counts as fanfic.
Is there a name for expanding on offscreen situations that happened in someone else's story? Because that's what keeps pouring out of my pen and fingers. It's bleak and dark and ugly and horrible and I love it.
I can't concentrate properly on anything else - I'm getting distracted from my RL - I have to carry a notebook everywhere in case another word or phrase or sentence comes to me - I have an annotated playlist for this thing.
It's almost certainly crap that will never see the light of day, but it feels so damn good to create.
It's wonderful.
