So much for sticking with a short story. I've been attempting to write a short, or at least kind-of-sort-of-short, tag to ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
a_pilgrim_soul's No Distance Left to Run, and I just don't think it's going to happen... er, the story being short, not the story itself. I really, really want to write what I have in mind but the plot keeps trying to turn into something long and chapter-like. And no matter how I try to replot, how I try to write, it just keeps on refusing to be anything but long and arduous.
I suppose I could do a short, sweet, semi-adventurous and cute version (blech!) But I've so been wanting to write something dark and heartwrenching, and Pilgrim Soul's story offered the perfect opportunity for such a plot. So short chapter fic it is, I guess *shrugs*
It just goes to show you - we don't do squat to the plot except think it up, it's the plot that bosses us around.
