I KILL TREES!
Today's my ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
startrekbigbang day! Go check out 57,000 words of angst.
I do most of my writing during my train commute or my lunch hour, which means no laptop. Normally I write in a little black notebook, but once a story of any magnitude gets going, I tend to write scenes out of order, and I need to refer to what I wrote before, or I write a skeleton version of a scene (usually just dialogue) and need to fill it in. So I print out a section and edit on the train, and when I get home for the evening I transcribe it all. So I end up with a lot of marked up paper.
This time I saved it all and threw it in a stack on my trusty drafting table. This is the result: all the marked-up drafts of various sections of We Have Loved the Stars are in this pile right here.
Rain forests are weeping. But fans of angsty slave fic are rejoicing. I hope.
