Meeee tooooo 
That's a great story about your internet friend (who's now more than that) 
Where are you at TT??? 
Are they trying to burn you out! I hope things get better for you! 
Morning TT!! 
And a HAPPY TT Day to you! I so can't wait! it has been SO long since the last TT Day! WEG *makes same declaration* 
Do they NOT understand that all work and no play makes TT a dull girl? Or in your case....fuming! Forget postal, they should worry about KELLER! 
*giggles* WHEW! That feels a bit better! 
You should be proud, that was amazing work...it must be a TT thing because I don't even have the willpower to write without ya! 
Thank you SO much for your glowing FB on Fine Line. Your opinion means the world to me. I was VERY happy with how the chapter turned out but as proven..I couldn't do it without you around! WHY IS THAT??? 
It must be a TT thing! 
LMAO You know what they say TT..Sticks and Stones my break my bones but whips and chains excite me!

You know, it's funny really. I have known my BF, Shari, for almost 20 years and still I learn new things about her. We were talking writing the other day and she informed me that it was down right impossible for her to start a story if she couldn't invision an ending. he was quick to point out that some details might change in the writing but she always had the basic idea. However to say I was stunned would be an understatement! 
That my best friend...that ANYONE...didn't go into writing the same way as I did, never crossed my mind. When I found the quote above, I must admit to a little sigh of relief. Obviously SOMEONE writes the way I do! I come up with an idea...sometimes not much more then a scene and usually somewhere in the middle of tale. That scene will haunt me until it is all encompassing!!! 
It will be all I think about day and night. I have to figure out everything about the scene, who, when, why, where? I will obsess to the point of madness!
THEN I will work on the beginning of the tale only so that I can tell YOU the reader HOW my characters have come to this point and time. The beginning must be perfect. (At least perfect in my estimation) This is the era of instant gratification and the world of Fan Fiction is no different...perhaps even worse. If the first couple of paragraphs of the story do not grab the reader they are very unlikely to bother themselves with reading further. I myself am as guilty of this as anyone! THAT is why the beginning is so ALL IMPORTANT. If you don't draw the reader into your world they will never get to see that fantabulous scene in the middle of the tale. 
The END....hmmmm scary words. As I have mentioned SEVERAL times here in my journal...(HEY LOOK IT'S MY JOURNAL AND "PET" IS WHATS GOING ON IN MY LIFE)...I'm almost finished with my SVU/OZ story "His Pet". Would it shock anyone to know that even I didn't know how this one would end until a couple of weeks ago? Scary huh?LOL Most times there is little that is more frightening then the truth and this is the truth. I had no idea. I was waiting on the muses to tell ME!
Soooo...writers out there....how do you write? Share with me!
Ahhh well...the truth shall set me free. I am off to work on "His Pet" Wish me luck!
PEACE! 
~HUSSY~
not scary at all sis, because i'm pretty much the same way. Not always though. Most of the time I come up with a great general topic. It can be a song, a scene, a quote that strucks me and voila, there's an idea for a story. I hardly ever know the ending of my stories until I actually reach it. oftentimes it just happens to come to me as I go along, sometimes the working of my own mind surprises me that I suddenly come to a point of a story where I think "how the hell did you get here and how do you get out of this again?". It's scary when your thoughts take over your mind and body and you can do nothing but letting it flow.
UGH! I don't even want to THINK about writing. LMAO. It is DEPRESSING me. Maybe if I were a bit more mentally disciplined and organized like Shari I wouldn't have that problem. Much like you, a basic scene, idea, or plot jumps in my head and I just build around it as it comes to me. This sounds a bit like the blind leading the blind, but usually it works. Like you said, some of the story just HAUNTS you. Sometimes, my ideas mature or change before I actually REACH that point. I guess as a writer, I am more the spontaneous, go with your hut/muses type. I have NEVER done, as some professional writer suggest, and done a basic outline. I simply can't stick to something like that and it would make me feel boxed in and caged. I feel enough like that in reality. LOL Like you TT, I tend to beat myself up unmercifully about details and wording. It TRULY does become a LABOR of LOVE but more often of FRUSTRATION!!! 
Hey Sorry I shocked you so much BF. I do try and envision and ending, though details and even the ending does change from time to time ... It is certainly a battle ... I love this quote of yours
