ie -- I want Harm to see Mac in a bikini and drop his teeth or I want Alicia Montes to end up somehow being too pushy and creepy for Harm or I want Mac to look really amazing, etc. etc. If I've thought of a few lines while I'm doing something else -- I jot them down before I forget. Then when I sit down to actually write, I've already gotten my lines written. I also like to title chapters, but wait until I've written the chapter to 'find' a suitable title. Sometimes I do write the whole story before I post and other times, I write a chapter at a time, depending on my work schedule. Writing a chapter at a time is harrowing for me. I feel pressured and I don't do well under pressure. Having said that, there have been times I've written a whole story and have changed it while I'm typing! Something may have come into my mind that 'felt' better or flowed better.
I tend to write in conversational tone. I keep in mind that this is amateur fanfic and I can't write like I usually write for my professional purposes or I wouldn't enjoy it as much. I enjoy writing my professional work, but I have to be totally correct for that. I certainly write with my audience in mind. I'm a people pleaser -- I love making people happy and have fun. So, even though my stories get a bit sappy, predictable, and even some people may think they suck, I so hope other people enjoy them.
