Feb. 22nd, 2008 01:17 pmLast night, I watched American Idol for about 10 seconds before deciding I was done with it for this year, but dude. DUUUUUUDE. All the boys were in suits! Some with fedoras! Marcabians for reals!!!1!
*ahem*
My writing has gotten so sparse lately. I'm not sure why. All my scenes are really short. They seem done, but I don't like how wee they are. OK, look.
( Bit o' WIP. Also: HALP )
***
That's the whole first scene. I don't hate it, but I when I look it over, I feel like: NEEDZ MOAR THINGS. It's not even 400 words. That's teeny, yes? What am I leaving out?
I don't want to go too far the other way and get all wordy and overexplain things; I just feel like there's something I should be doing to lose less of a scene in the transition from my head to the page. I just can't see where the gaps are anymore.
Also! Man, I suck at plotting and mysteries and all that crap. I decided the serial killer was a former Kira worshipper who kind of sees what he's doing as handing L a challenge of his own, in retribution, sort of. He's pretty smart, and manages to avoid being caught long enough that Near figures out his motivation. But, um. I got nothing after that.
