And the world shall die of shock, for Naaramare is going to ask a question.

The circumstances around the creation of my current story are rather complicated and probably somewhat unique, but thinking about them got me to wondering.

I often feel less as if I'm writing this story and more as if this story is simply using me to get written. In short, to paraphrase an artist by the name of Ursula Vernon, this story has made me it's biatch.

Is this something that's a common experience? How much time do you spend, either directly or peripherally, thinking about your stories? Planning for them? Plotting?
