Yeah, right, Christiane Knight<p>Fandom as Joy</p><p>I love fandom so much. They've got the t-shirt, the action figure, the memes, and the cardboard cutout of their favorite character, and I love them for it. Touching base daily with something that enhances their life keeps them going, and I 100% get that, because I'm that person too.</p><p><a href="https://www.christianeknight.com/fandom-as-joy/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">christianeknight.com/fandom-as</span><span class="invisible">-joy/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/OnCreating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OnCreating</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BTS</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Fandom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fandom</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/SFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SFF</span></a></p>

Yeah, right, Christiane Knight<p>Growing a Plot From a Stem</p><p>I come up with characters, or more properly - they show up, and I put them in a scene and see how they work and what happens. When it gels and feels exciting, I keep going. At this point, I generally have no idea where the story is going. I just let the scenes unroll naturally and explore from ther</p><p><a href="https://www.christianeknight.com/growing-a-plot-from-a-stem/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">christianeknight.com/growing-a</span><span class="invisible">-plot-from-a-stem/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AThirdKindofMadness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AThirdKindofMadness</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/InSleepYouKnow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InSleepYouKnow</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/OnCreating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OnCreating</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ATKOM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ATKOM</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ISYK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ISYK</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Plotting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Plotting</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a></p>
Yeah, right, Christiane Knight<p>A Big Why for 2023<br>I've been thinking about the Big Why, as in "Why do you do X thing?" aka "What's your motivation?" It's been on my mind for a while, actually, combined with thoughts about legacy and how much fame is enough.
