Writing, musings 

I have a love-hate relationship with being very structured with my writing. A good story needs a solid flow and solid conflict, but I consider myself more of a paracosmic journalist than a writer. My compromise had always been to free-write stories that wouldn't otherwise work well as a full -story-.
It's a winding thing where I often question the necessity of conflict within story narratives (as I write mostly for my own sake, especially these narratives)

Writing, musings 

I think what I'm trying to say is that I hate having to alter and tweak "what happens" for sake of "what reads well as a story".
I do like the label "Paracosmic Journalist" though :)

Basically I want to start writing an account of my creation, and I'm trying not to let that part of me start thinking of "But what would folks like to read" because it's not about -them- ^^'
