getting to the good part
Just a tiny whiny post about writing and struggling with getting to the good part!
I recently tried to put more effort into writing more consistently again, and I also got really excited about a project of mine, a longer fic that will take place over multiple chapters, exploring the progression in the characters' relationship as it develops because of (plot reasons). I figured I'd need to start with, well, the beginning. And that's where the trouble started. The beginning feels so goddamn boring!! I just want to skip straight to the first exciting scene, part of why I made up this whole story in the first place, but I obviously need to set the scene first for it to even have the impact I want.
At first, I just didn't feel comfortable writing the first scene, since it's a fight, and I don't always mind those, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable enough with them to just straight up jump into one as the first scene of the story. After that, I realised I still feel really conflicted about the character dynamics. I didn't need to think so hard about it when it was just a vague thing happening before the real story began, but now that I have to write it out, it feels so strange, maybe a bit ooc, but I'm not really sure how to go about the rest of the story without establishing this first. It's the whole point of why their relationship develops the way it does, but now it just feels... wrong. Argh... (╥﹏╥)
