Yes, one does have to be in the 'Mood' to write. That's why I can't see how some writers can just crank stuff out, day after day. I'd like, need a break now and then (like a week) between times. What's really bitchy is writing 'transition' scenes, with little or no action. They're necessary though, to tie things together and give the reader story continuity, but it's still a real drag sometimes.
Yeah, Dudeman kept trying to push Kurt to the forefront and make the story about him, when the original intent was to have Tony as the main character. He was making things too wild and didn't know shit about writing. I wound up deleting a lot of his stuff. Mercury and I never intended to have another Clique in the story at all, but were able to make it work out. Still, I think the story would have been better off without it. I finally came up with the idea to make Kurt a sort of anti-hero and came up with the backstory, and the rest of the Rockers too. But, I got rid of them in the end, dumped them off in New Jersey, where the Queen can go see them in concert. And Kurt is where he belongs, in a mental hospital. A fitting end, if'n I do say so.
