Wow. Not only was I a writing fiend yesterday, apparently my subconscious was a plotting fiend all night. O_O I don't normally plot out an entire story before writing it, especially as I generally change my mind a million times along the way, but I at least like to have a general idea of where a story is going when I start. Part of the reason why I initially stalled out on this one was because, other than getting Claude home from the hospital (which I knew was going to happen within the first 1-3 scenes), I had no idea what the point of this fic was. I knew that at some sketchy point in the future Claude had to find out about little Claude... but I didn't really think that was slated to happen in this particular fic. It felt too soon.
So, what to do? Well, thanks to seeing Hair again on the 23rd and feeling an intense itch to write yesterday, I managed to bang out the second scene. However, I still didn't know where the story was going. Well... now that I've written the next scene, my subconscious decided that it was going to go ahead and solve the problem for me. I woke up this morning with several key scenes in my head, a basic idea of how to put them together and a clear idea of how the story ends. I love when that happens with little to no effort on my part. ^_^
And yeah... looks like I was right. I don't think Claude finds out about little Claude in this story, after all. Sorry,
msorange21!
And now off to shower and pack like a mad fiend so I can get on the road within the next thirty minutes. With any luck my clothes will be dry by then. O_O
