though my outline was in such vague terms that I have barely any idea where I was going
My notes don't make sense to anyone but me. And I have little notes within notes. Basically I just write anything that pops into my head, to make sure I've got a good foundation to come back to.
Ha, story. One of my ff.net stories gets Beta'd by a fellow user, and once I was supposed to send her the latest chapter, but I sent her a page of random notes for a Chase/Cameron fic I was planning to write (and it's NOT the kind of Chase/Cameron fic you're probably thinking of. It's not even really a relationsip)instead. And then she was like "what's this?" and I asked what she meant, and she told me she got a page of random, incoherent notes about Chase's reactions or thoughts on something, and I was like *headdesk* because it was embarrassing. It's like giving someone a peephole into your thoughts.
I know that how I was going to end it was really good, but I can't remember it for the life of me
I know exactly what that's like! It's terrible!
That and when you come up with something, a line or just more stuff for a part you haven't gotten to yet
I have a habit of zooming ahead in my mind while I'm writing, and planning things I am going to say in the next paragraph. And then if I should become distracted/have to leave, I am unable to pick up where I left off. Very sad. Very annoying.
