I failed my IT Key Skills exam. -_- Wonderful. Means I have to do it again next year. Although this should say something - I spend about three hours a night on my computer on average, I use Word, Photoshop, create moving images and pictures and install and uninstall programs, I run an MSN group with hundreds of pictures, files and pages and I know basic HTML, yet I fail an IT exam. Hhhmm. Let me see. Why does that not inspire any confidence in me as to the validity of Key Skills exams? -_- It was because I don't know anything about spreadsheets. When, may I ask, do I need to use spreadsheets? *shakes head* I honestly don't know what the hell the exam system is doing here lately.

Rant over, I was just typing some more of this weird multi-fandom fic that won't leave me alone, and I realised how strange my ficcing is - I don't think, I just type. I don't think about the next line it just happens; sometimes I'll read through and a word, or a sentence will sound wrong and I'll rephrase it but I hardly ever pause mid-flow to consider what to do next. I don't know if that's a good thing. o_O I'll have to consider it more.

I need to revise some more since I gave up a few hours ago. My brother's kicking me off the computer now so I'm off to finish chapter two of this game-fic before he does. It's gonna need editing though and I still have major revising to do so I doubt I'll finish it this weekend. -_- I hate revising.

You are Mary Bell. At the ripe old age of 10 you
strangled a neighbor boy, afterwhich you carved
your initals into his skin. At his funreal you
laughed. Your next victim was a 3 year old. You
pushed him off the roof, resulting in a broken
skull. After he was found you went to his
mothers house and asked to see him, she replied
tha t he was dead. You smiled brightly and said
'Oh, I know he's dead. I wanted to see him in
his coffin."
You horrid little girl you.

You've just summed up how "Trish for Boots" came into existance. I still don't know where the hell it came from.

Ya know, that's kind of the way I write. I just let it flow, although I generally go back and fix stuff but rarely when I'm in the middle of writing it. I think for some people that flow of conscience thing is normal. It makes it easier for them to write. If I actaully stopped and thought about what I write, I probably wouldn't have some of the fics I have... although maybe that would be a good thing *grins*

Yeah, I think people who write must just have a knack for it. I know people who couldn't even begin to write a story - maybe it's because they just can't let it flow.

/If I actaully stopped and thought about what I write, I probably wouldn't have some of the fics I have/

That's very true (not about it being a good thing ^_~) because I was editing a chapter of a fic last night and I was changing on odd word here, rephrasing a sentence there, without stopping to think about how I knew *which* words to change. Halfway through I stopped and thought about it and I couldn't do it anymore - I had to do it automatically because if I analysed what I was doing it was impossible.

I've always thought that thinking about you're fic too much while writing it is just a bad thing. You think too hard and ideas kind of go away :)
