hiii if you donā€™t mind me asking whatā€™s your writing process? i admire your style so much and iā€™ve been trying to get better at writing and was curious how you go about your fics. do you plan out every chapter and scene before beginning or do you just start writing with a plot in mind and go with the flow? i hope iā€™m not asking too much or not making sense lol

ahh thank you! i answered a similar question here ! basically i like having a loose outline in my head/notes when i start but it never gets followed exactly so i do end up going with the flow/wherever the characters take me. it really just depends on what works best for you, if you're struggling at all with one method (i.e. detailed outlines) i'd suggest giving something else a shot (maybe try to wing a oneshot? or vice versa) and seeing how it goes.
also for me there's just a ton of Thinking about my fics and trying to pinpoint where they're lacking, editing to add/move/remove scenes, and getting beta help when i'm unsure. anyways good luck!!
