I wrote my recent Omori fic A Helping Hand very quickly; it went from a mental image to a complete (if short) oneshot within an afternoon.
Because of this, I've got an unusually clear view of how this fic developed! I thought it might be interesting to note down a bit about the writing process while it's still fresh in my mind.
Like the fic itself, these notes contain spoilers for Omori and mentions of fictional suicidal ideation.
( Analysing the writing process for my Omori fic. )
This fic was a little unusual in that I wrote it almost from beginning to end; my writing process is usually a lot less linear! But, in the way I started with a vague idea and just expanded on it until I saw an opportunity to tie things together, it's a pretty accurate reflection of how I usually develop a fic. This is why I usually write one-shots; I don't have the advance planning skills to write something both coherent and long!
