Note to self

 Dear self:
You can write that Star Trek fic without researching the rain patterns in Iowa.  Really, I'm sure that it's possible for there to have been one summer's day with hard steady rain for Kirk to think back on.

Oh, don't worry. You're not alone in the, er, overzealous and thorough approach to fic-writing. Half the stuff I slog through I never use.

*sigh* Such is our plight. XD

I find myself wasting all sorts of time looking up Trek stuff to use in my fic that I end up not needing. Stupid fandom.

There are entire stories I have not been able to write because the petty but necessary research eluded me. Woe.

Yes, this, totally. Get it down, make shizz up, if you need to get the details - do it later.
