Sometimes, when people look at my work, they say "I wish I could make stuff like that. You are so talented! I could never do that!" and I want to stamp my foot and say "Yes, yes you CAN!" Because it isn't that hard, really. I mean, yes, I am talented (being honest, here) and some crafts are harder than others, but "never" is too strong a word. I will concede that if you are colourblind, blind, have no use of your hands, or have the attention span of a deranged ferret, the obstacles to making craft are extremely high, but otherwise, no.

But maybe I'm making assumptions. So here is a survey.

kerravonsen: 7th Doctor with an open umbrella: foresight (foresight)
I have started writing a Labyrinth story (prologue is done). I fear it is going to be a long one and not everything is clear about the plot, either. So I was wondering if I should experiment with a post-as-you-go sort of writing, with the clear understanding that this would be a rough draft, alpha reading, and that it will change, possibly drastically, before the final draft, but also with the hope that y'all would comment and give feedback as I wrote. Should I do so?
