I feel a surge of creativity today. I had a thought (while in the bath of all places) and now the ideas are literally spewing out of my so fast that I'm unable to write fast enough.
I hate when you get a rush of ideas and you can't grasp ahold of all of them. I have learned the importance of writing down an idea. I had an idea for this story that I thought was brillant, but unfortunately i didn't write it down. 40 minutes later, I couldn't remember it!
Grg!
The good thing is, today, I'm remembering everything! So I will definately have a chapter up tonight! Woo! It's funny because I find writing to be a very selfish thing.
When I'm writing, my world shrinks to my paper and pen. I forget people's birthdays, forget to pay bills, everything that I had set out to do that day goes poof.
Its interesting how time is limitless and undefinable when writing. I can write for what I think for a long time, look up and notice only an hour has gone by. Or, what happens more often, I will write and time will fly so quickly that its eleven o'clock at night before I've realized. And I haven't eaten dinner!
Anyway, going back to writing. Doesn't everyone wish they had a Pensieve, like Dumbledore in Harry Potter? God, my best ideas would have a chance to hit the page!
Happy Writing everyone!

This is how I feel about my current chapter. It's not anything special, I don't think but its like pulling teeth to get it done.
I think its because I lost my groove. I'm a little different than other fic writers when it comes to writer's block. (those I've talked to anyway.)
I don't get writer's block alot. I usually have a fresh idea all the time. Its never been a problem for me. When the writers block happens is when I fall out of my writing routine. So for example I haven't written anything since Wednesday because I had problems with my back, had to go to emerg and spent the weekend jacked up on painkillers.
My back's still sore and I'm still taking anti-inflammatories, but really yesterday was the first day I started writing again. Between yesterday and today I managed to squeeze out 500 words. That's fairly unimpressive considering I'm used to writing 1000 in two or three hours.
Hopefully the new ep tommorrow with reinvigorate my muse and get me back on track.

Oh my god, its been forever! (Not that many people are reading this, but you know what I mean!)
I think the last chapter freaked people out which in turn freaked me out, however I'm back on track and should have a chapter up by tommorrow. I see this story taking shape though, which is good. I know where its going and every decision I make relates to something else.
Its funny because my new nickname is 'review whore' because i love people to review. To be honest, i never used to be a big review person. I mean i love them of course, but if I was lacking in them it didn't make me stop.
But with this story, I'm purposely asking people to review and being all 'why haven't you reviewed yet' about it and the reason why, honestly is because I feel really insecure about this story. Big time. And I don't know why. I mean yeah I've never written a case before but still. Why am I being weird about this?
I don't know! The good thing is because I've been so busy (new job, etc) I've had time to step away from the story and figure out what i want to do next!
I do see how the combination of the first three chaps was probably too much grossness for people, so it wasn't necessarily the necrophilia, but the combination of everything that happened. The good thing is there is a reprieve from the gross things in the next chapter. But it will be back!
So I'm hoping to keep trucking along with this story and all will be well. Stay tuned for the next chap!

So I posted my third chapter and well.....reaction has been interesting. I think people are freaked out by the necrophilia as well as the grappling hook stuff so it might be turning them off. But its interesting because people's reactions got me totally freaked out!
I mean, I really feel insecure about my story now. I can handle constructive criticism usually but with this story being my first case fic, I'm pretty on edge as it is, so my mind automatically jumps to how it sucks. Its not like the comments were horrible either, in fact they were not bad. I think it was that combined with a lack of reviews for this chapter that made it worse.
Anyway, now when I try to sit down and write, I've got nothing. I'm feeling nervous about the direction I should take with the story. I think I'm going to take my mind off it for a while and see how it goes. Maybe write some fluff or something!

Well I have just finished and am about to post chapter two! This chapter was difficult because it dealt with some weird things, the primary being necrophilia. Why did I decide to use necrophilia in my story? I don't know, it just came to me. And it added an extra layer to story and to the villian who we haven't met yet.
Not being a sexual fetishist myself, its hard for me to understand how someone could be like that. One of the necrophilia articles that I read was a woman who had worked in a morgue and had sex with numerous corspes. She talked about it in a very blase way, because it was normal for her. It's interesting to think that what's normal to one person can be totally bizarre to others.
That being said, I really disagree with necrophilia because first of all, it's creepy and second of all the person cannot give their consent because they are deceased.
I do find it interesting the different paths of research that this story is taking me on. I think one of the things I like the best is being able to research a variety of things. I'm not necessarily a huge research fan but I do find it really important, especially for a story like this one.
This chapter (even though its only the second) feels different to me. I think I'm slowly getting into this story and feeling less and less insecure about writing a case fic. Hopefully the next chapter will come sooner, because I know the longer I leave it, the less readers i will get.
But at the same time, I'm enjoying the ability to mull over the story, make sure certain plot details are correct and do the right about of research needed.
I hope everyone's liking the story and the livejournal too. (It's very cathartic.)

Don't you hate when you have a surge of ideas and then you have places to be? Welcome to my day today. I woke up with chapter two in my head, all laid out and glorious. Unfortunately, I had to go home for some family time.
How sad is it that I wished to avoid the family so that I could write?
Anyway, now all my glorious ideas for chapter two have seeped out of my brain and I'm just left staring at my blank page.Which totally sucks. Hopefully when I get home tommorrow I will have a chance to get my thoughts down on paper.
I had hoped to read some fanfic tonight but my brother's computer has parental controls on it and fanfiction.net is blocked! Ahh, that totally sucks! Well hopefully the ABY has some stuff.
It's the end of the day and since I haven't written all day I feel totally unproductive. It's weird how its like that. I could totally screw off at work, don't do any housework and be a complete lazy bum but if I've done a little bit of writing then I feel productive. Weird.
Well, I'm off to bed soon, but I wanted to post. I hope my chapter will be done by tommorrow but we shall see.

Holy geez, its been five days! So much for posting everyday! I haven't actually thought about my story in a few days because I'm leaving my job and starting a new one in a week and its just crazy! I actually only got two reviews for my last chap over at ffnet. I don't know if that's because I posted on a Sunday (bad day) or cuz it takes me a week to put out a chap.
I am getting good response on the ABY so that's good. It's weird because one part of me knows that writing is not about the reviews and the other part is a review whore! I guess I just like feedback especially a story like this that makes me unsure.
But I'm working on the next chap tonight so hopefully all will go according to plan!

SPOILER-This entry talks about the plot. If you don't want to know what happens, don't read this one!
So the outlining process continues. I'm still about half way through outlining but I'm also half way through the first chapter because I got frustrated at the 'paperwork' and just wanted to write.
Writing a case fic is difficult I'm finding because you have to make the boring science stuff sound interesting. Plus the research is a little creepy. Surprisingly not the forensic stuff. That doesn't seem to bother me as much. But a lot of the research I'm doing is focusing on cults, particularly David Koresh at Waco and Charles Manson. Reading detailed accounts of how the Manson family killed their victims is more than a little disturbing.
But at the same time, I feel the research is really helping me have a calm state of mind when it comes to the story. It's just backing up my ideas. I know not everything is going to be accurate but I'm going to try my best to have it as close as possible.
I'm a huge fan of listening to music as a way to get into the mood of a story. This song, 9 Crimes by Damien Rice is a big part of my chapter one. Not all of the lyrics fit, but its more about some of the lyrics working with the melody to create this mood. The song is slightly forboding and that's what I want to go for when Booth and Brennan look at the body of the young girl.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy. And hopefully my new chapter will be up today or tommorrow.

So I don't have much to report today but I do have an image. It's pretty graphic but its by Artemisia Gentileschi who was this pretty feminist Baroque painter. The painting is quite graphic but I love the imagery and its portrayal of this strong woman. Anyway, its inspired this story not only because the blood and guts but because of the savagery of it. It's something I want to tap into when thinking about my villian as well as the murders. (Because there are plenty more than just the two!) I also love how it captures the act of murder as its happening. Somehow she managed to show the sheer brutality of the act. The painting is how I wish I could write; so descriptive that the readers feel like it is happening. Anyway, here's the picture. At the bottom is a link of a wikipedia article on Artemisia Gentileschi if you are interested.

Wow, outlining is such a process! Especially since I usually don't do it with my fics. I'm more of the go with the flow girl but because this is a case fic I feel its necessary.
I'm about half way through and it's exhausting, especially because I think this story is going to be quite long (perhaps novel length). I'm excited and intimidated at the same time. Excited because I think its a challenge and I love challenges! The research alone is going to kill me! Intimidated because novel length? Really?
The other part of me wonders if I'm capable of writing a novel length story and if so, why am I writing a Bones story and not one with original characters? And do I even have any original characters?
So the outlining has depressed me a little, but I think I'm going to keep at it! What buoyed me was the many reviews I got for the prologue which was really short.
I also got distracted by writing a mildly angsty oneshot that I'm working on. It's going to be weird focusing all my energies on one story. I've usually got two or three on the go. And writing a story with no B&B hookup is going to be weird as well!
Anyway, I'm sleepy so I'm going to bed. But for anyone reading this: Do you hate outlining or do you find it really useful?
Oh, and I've decided to update this every day. Writing is an everday process so whether its a journal entry or a song that inspires me or a picture that makes me think of a character, it will be here!

Am I crazy? Why am I writing this livejournal when I have a board to moderate and stories to write? Well, because as much as I love writing I also love talking about writing. I'm a Bones Fanfic writer, I love the characters, love the plots, love Booth's ass....I mean, um....moving on! I just started a fic called A Charismatic Evil that is going to be pretty long and pretty intense. And filled with lots of reasearch. So I thought I would write a little diary that detailed how I wrote the story. It's like the extras on a DVD! Sort of behind the scenes with a fic writer! My story will be updated once a week and this will be updated at least twice a week, so check back often.
Let's begin:
My thoughts on the prologue. Wow, so I sort of posted this prologue without a serious plan in mind. Now I have to sit down this weekend and outline like crazy. The research is weird. I was googling rigor mortis and strangling and all sorts of things and thought 'if something happened to me and they searched my computer for clues, they'd think I was crazy!' Surprisingly, the girl with the skipping rope part not as hard to write as the burned body part. That just creeps me out. I looked at a few pics on the internet and almost vomited. (Well I'm sick anyway, so it could have been that!)
I'm undecided at this point but I think, perhaps this story might be in canon, meaning no B&B romance! Despite my rep for angst, I don't think I've ever written a story that didn't have B&B gettin' it on!
Also, I'm doing something different with this story. I'm editing my work. I usually don't edit my stuff before I post it, I just edit it as I write it. But with this, I want to be a little bit sharper with my writing skills so constructive criticism is welcome!
Anyway, that's all for now!
Willi!
