Question of the Day - Part 4
Rose:
That's one thing I'm conscious of now. I may take time, but these days I don't post anything that I'm not sure I'll follow through on. Like I have starts for other fics in folders, but I only post stuff I really feel a solid inspiration for and have outlined and a couple chapters for. Which, WOOMD, Divine Intervention, and HWS all had in common.
Cause I never want to abandon a story again.

So, next logical question for everyone: What are some of those pivotal parts you've written that you're most proud of?

As I mentioned before, I think the scene where we finally learn how Nick got that MINE carved into his skin in It Stays was a scene I was really proud of and that was really hard to write!
Nick's birthday chapter in Seasons of Change because it was totally personal to me and actually happened in my real life.
The reveal scene in Shadow Woods when Kevin explains to Nick what the heck was going on.
Having other Nick kill Nick was another one lol for obvious reasons.
I think for all four of those, I couldn't wait to get to the climax and write it out. LOL
I actually think I have one of those moments in every story i've written. A certain scene I can't wait to write and am really proud of, as we all should have in each of our stories, but those are the four that most stick out in my mind.

--- End quote ---
A novel usually takes me anywhere from two to 6 months to finish. I generally don't write really long novels though. Usually they range anywhere from 20 - 50 chapters max.

Do you guys think of your original characters as real people?
Do you ever hesitate to do things to the characters because of how attached you are to them?
--- End quote ---
I hope mine aren't because most of my original characters are freaking psycho! LOL
mare:
I think I am all caught up now, although I feel like I missed one somewhere? lol
Here's another question, although I should wait until tomorrow just in case it suddenly gets quiet in here.
When you are writing a story, do you ever intend it to not go past a certain amount of chapters? Or what makes you decide to make something really long or really short?
