Thank you! I was just thinking, reading this, that people rarely want to talk to me about plotting *g* but it's something that takes up a lot of my thought process when I'm writing a story. With this one, I was really pleased with some aspects of the plotting because Tony didn't just have one big secret - he had three (although they were all linked) and they all needed their own reveal. Also, there's the fact that the plotting was designed to do clever stuff like have Tony be bruised when he turned up to the lunch with his dad - stuff like that takes planning *g*. Other stuff was things like the dossier - which just *came* to me but which was so much fun to work into the fic in various places.
Sorry, I'm rambling. But then, like I said, nobody ever wants to talk to me about plotting so I go a bit giddy when someone mentions it *g*.
And on the subject of descriptive style - I managed to lose about 6000 words of this one - which I've never done before - just by shaving off too much description where I felt it was getting in the way. I hope I got the balance right. Seemed to me I had 3 ways of saying the same thing in there in places so I cut it down to just the one wherever possible *g*.
no subject
