I also don’t outline. Either this same thing happens, or else my brain goes DONE and I no longer want to write the story.
I have the same problem. It’s great for when I have plot bunnies I’m not interested in but need to get out of my head, but not so great when I actually wanna write it.
Lately my memory has been crap so I figured it’d be a good way to keep track of what the hell I wanted to do in this fic but now it’s looking like I’m gonna have to trash three whole chapters. It’s probably for the best, though. It’s a slow burn but if I don’t start getting these two idiots to interact and fall in love I become the asshole who spends five thousand words describing soup instead of plot.
I usually don’t use outlines. This time I tried because I might as well try to be a little organized right? That’s all well and good but now a huge chunk of my outline no longer works for this fic b/c it’s so far off the rails.
Oh well. Re-outlining time I guess.

i would like to respectfully demand this silver fox look he’s got going on for epix.
WHAT A STUNNING HUMAN

Just another boring beach painting…
Don’t give me that look, OK.
I love sunsets, I love the sea, I love reflections and I love playing with light… OH AND I LOVE THIS BEACH. It’s my favourite place in the whole world.
“The talk shifts to Leia’s romance with Han Solo in Empire, and Carrie slyly speculates that “if she had her wits about her, she would have fallen for the big, strong Wookiee. She’s not that experienced, but because she’s a princess, she would have some kind of problem with whoever she dated. Like, ‘She can’t marry out of her solar system’ or something.” Her notion of an X-rated sequel to Empire makes her howl with laughter. “Nude scenes with the robots!” she envisions. “They could do anything. And Darth Vader having an affair, making the princess do awful, kinky things. Then afterward, you could shoot a scene where you see her sleeping contently and have him lying there, smoking a cigarette.”
— Carrie Fisher in Rolling Stone, 1980
I miss her so much.
This is the song they played during the scene changes in my brother’s latest play (Why We Like Love Stories) and I’ve had part of it stuck in my head for the longest time. I finally broke down and asked him what it was called and he responded by telling me “yeah, I figured it was that funky banjo crap you’d be into. It’s my instagram song of the week.” So this is what it is. Good stuff, imo.
Discussion about Rey’s theme has cropped back up, and I always want an excuse to share this with the world. This is a pretty fantastic video that I’ve used a lot in my Media Art classes over the last few years that breaks down the Dies Irae as it has shown up in popular culture over hundreds of years. Fans of Rey (and just Star Wars in general) probably already picked up that a big part of her theme are the same notes first heard in the background of twin suns scene in ANH – those notes being the Dies Irae, the literal song of death. This really gives some great context to what that theme has meant both in Star Wars and in media in general.
Also, this video is just an impressive feat of all-in-one-take. Seriously, the coordination required here is mind-boggling.
Oh yeah, and I have a crack theory about how this is very intentional, and Rey is going to be the one to finish what Anakin started by preventing death – Ben’s.
