Planning stages. · 9:23pm Feb 19th, 2012
Are REALLY difficult! If I think something over it always seems to end up falling into the point of no return. For instance, at first I thought maybe having multiple protagonists may make it more interesting, but in reality, all it’s doing is making everything HARDER to plot! When it’s just one person, maybe a few secondaries like I had on "The nature of the beast" then it’s not so bad, most of the action tends to focus, and I can bend it to where I want it. Trying to manipulate it so that the story can accurately portray 3 or more main characters? Now that’s difficult. Especially at the same time! Using first person, as in "I thought about that and realized its better" Over third person "they all seemed to agree that it was better." Or even second person "You thought he was serious." tends to focus the events on one person, and third person I can’t focus properly! My mind no like third. My little rant is basically me saying I’m going back to stage one, wiping the slate so to speak. Although I may do a "choice" fiction, using comment votes, that may be fun. All in all, the planning isn’t going horrible, although its definitely more difficult THINKING about a story then it is to write it for me. How messed up is that? I’m better at winging then planning. *Face+palm.* Oh well, while its all still in good fun, it seems like I’m trying to force myself to plan these things out. I can most likely wing a pretty fauxing epic story so long as I keep notes, most of you don’t know this but I almost submitted a loophole chapter on "The nature of the beast" Basically it was Eclipse figuring out that he wasn’t just a revived version of discord, but in fact eclipse was going to BECOME discord. Thankfully I realized what the hell I was doing and trashed it.
I suppose I need to get back to doing all this planning and shit... Damn... Planning is hard...
Maybe you should just start writing everything you think down, and make a fanfic of total randomness
