I noticed in the intro of your recent fic that it had been one that had been mulled over for a bit. It's really nice that it started with that vivid, strong image to anchor it. I'm curious (since we're comparing writing notes) how often do you jot ideas on the "back of a napkin". I'm constantly scribbling down bits of dialogue and pieces of phrase into notebooks so that I don't loose the wording (If I hoard something just in my head, I forget what I was going to write!)
Actually, I find it very impressive that you can manage to get something out all in one sitting. No matter what I write, it nearly always takes *days* and sometimes months. Part of that may be due to lifestyle, of course (I rarely have more than a few hours at a time to work on writing uninterrupted). But probably also part of it is that I keep going back to poke at stuff. The end result is that turns it into something of an evolutionary process. ^^
