Oh yeah, all the time, especially now I'm into the later chapters... I just leave those bits as walls of text, or get a face close-up/scenery shot and gloss over it.

It wasn't quite that random, haha. I was originally going to tell the story in order, but then I thought I'd add a bit of mystery and shake it up a bit, so put the start-ish at the end-ish then had to juggle things in the middle to make it flow. It did involve cutting up paper. I probably did laugh diabolically.
Any examples... It's mostly snippets of dialogue that come to me randomly and I'll stop what I'm doing and scribble them on my arm. Oh, the kid winding up Faith in the cinema in Midnight Snack wasn't originally written in, but he just wouldn't quit and gave her the 'aggravating conversation' moodlet which cracked me up. I wasn't planning to have Melinda get anywhere near Paul until he randomly changed into his boxers in Real Drinks. Once I'd seen him like that, I had to change the whole second part of that chapter and tweak a few subsequent chapters, because it caused me to almost emotional death from hysteria. There are a few in the upcoming chapters. And I've had loads of fun with the news stories. ;) :D
