It sounds like you're doing great with the story. I'm glad to hear that. :)

For me, I tend to start writing first and then worry about everything fitting together. I like to get my thoughts on paper so that I don't lose them. For the most part, it works.

300 was awesome! I saw it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Gene bought it for us and we watched it the next day. I thought it was really well thought out. Not as bloody/gory as I had been told it would be. I like how much history was put into the piece of fiction. All in all, I think it was great.

Truth be told, we couldn't help but laugh at the inaccuracies in the movie, though we were generally able to accept them due to the nature of the film. It was supposed to be, and look, kick ass. When reality conflicted with that, reality lost out every time, and that's okay.

As far as writing goes, if I try to write without a solid framework, I'll simply get bored with my story at some point, and it will lack the depth that I want it to have. Methods have to meed the needs of the writer, though, so like any art, my way is the best, and to hell with others... I mean, there is no right way.

Well, yes, but all in all, it did have some historical accuracies in it, and I liked that.

I know what you mean, and that does sometimes happen to me, but usually when I re-pick it up, I can jump right back into it. As you say, there is no right way to do things, and this just happens to be the one that usually works for me. I have had to take a break from writing a story to do more world creation since I need to go more in-depth into those things and work out the mechanics, but I guess that's what happens when you create your own universe from scratch.
