That makes perfect sense.

I think I start with the fragments because that's all I have at that moment. And from there I'm starting to puzzle together an image of these characters, try out what works and what doesn't, sort of like what the muses nod to and where they cringe. It's why it sometimes takes me ages to finish even the shortest of stories (the Actor AU ones were a constant struggle for example) because it's like wandering about in the woods in complete darkness :).
