... there isn’t already a plot? It felt as though there was! Ok, there are suggestions at a plot. It's the making the plot go somewhere that daunts.
Myself, I prefer to work on things and then post them, making sure I have it finished first in case I want to fiddle with things and twist them about before I post it. But, too, I acknowledge that’s a way that works best for myself. Well, that's how I usually work, and I am a bit of a perfectionist, but I've been trying to train myself to be more flexible with my writing.
Couldn’t there be some kind of compromise between the two? Maybe have someone beta it for you? Or a couple people, to get a few different ideas? Good suggestions. I might yet do that. For the moment, I've settled on just posting the bits I work on to my own journal and letting anyone on my flist who wants to have a go at them do so.
