I Dont Want To Write This Extremely Specific Fanfic Of Which I Am The Primary Audience, I Just Want To

I don’t want to write this extremely specific fanfic of which I am the primary audience, I just want to read it.

my brain, interrupting my daydream: this is poorly researched and the narrative is not compelling

me: I should write

also me: 

Admirable writers: I write at least 5 rough drafts before posting my final draft.

Me, a fanfic gremlin: My first draft is my final draft.

“First, get the story down. Resist the urge to rework your opening line or paragraph. The perfect opening may be the last thing you write. Once you have the story down, you can begin the real work.”
