ladyjanelly Arg, writing.
I'm getting better at this whole plotting thing (by better I mean making there be enough plot to have a story that can be finished). But. I'm having problems with limited POVs and people getting the Phone Call of Doom. Seriously. I just wrote the third one in a row. It's not good. It feels predictable and formulaic and I'm annoying myself with it.
Maybe it's because I'm writing in a fandom with intensely competent characters (The Losers and Leverage) and I can't imagine the events happening when both of the boys are there so the action that forces a change keeps being off-screen?
I swear when this one is done, I'm writing phoneless!AUs until I figure out a new plot.
