I don't have a mind of a writer, so picturing/planing a conversation between two characters (several times over even!) and then remembering the whole thing (how, how?) and writing it down ad verbatim (or close to it) kind of boggles my mind. My mind is pretty much unable to work in a linear fashion for very long and will at first opportunity leave the main road and take the first little side path it sees, than the next one until main road is well and truly abandoned (which is why writing my thesis was such hell). So yeah, circular, easily distracted and undisciplined as fuck. I think PWP is the only thing I can narrate scene by scene in my mind with switching POVs and convos and all. Than again I'm easily motivated for this :P
I find it so surprising that the main inspiration for some of your most amazing fics is that one final vivid action scene. If asked I'd have guessed it was something like 'what if RoR magic wasn't really truly gone' or 'what would Draco do if he heard Potter was one kiss away from full on love potion effect/submission'. Maybe inspiration isn't the right word since I suspect plot was there somewhere all along, but motivation then. Fascinating.
Also walking around bit with cleaning and retelling your actions in your head is giving me a serious Faith's!Draco awww moment. Alsoalso, you have no idea how distressing I find it that somewhere in your hardrive there is lots and lots of half done word files that will never see the light of day (i.e. my eyes). Half done part does not bother me - but never being able to read the done bit is so argh!! That king size veela one in particular.
