Writing is going okay overall! I posted the first chapter of a fluffy little kidfic this week, overcoming my fear of writing kid/baby characters, and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.

If I may ask for help, I'm having trouble writing the lead-in to a character blowing up out of anger. I'm really, really struggling to make the explosion feel natural and not come out of nowhere. I've posted the rough version of that scene here on my journal, if it helps any.

Congrats and oof, that feels rough! I wonder if that's something that might work over the long term, like lots of tiny hints of quickly repressed anger in the chapters leading up to that moment? Good luck figuring it out, I hope you get good advice and/or ideas :D

[languajix]

Thank you! I hope so, too... my goal for today is to poke at it until I figure it out.

I definitely seeded the idea of the character repressing their anger throughout the lead-up to the pot boiling over, but the rapid escalation to the actual explosion just feels clunky right now. I'll work on it!

I didn't quite write today, but I did set up some Gdocs and transfer stuff to Scrivener so things are consistent across what I write. But, today was super busy IRL so I'm not surprised I didn't get more done. I did, however, get through some errands I've been putting off for months AND type up invoices to help the family business for tax stuff coming up, so yay! All I need to do tomorrow is set up my week's worth of pills, take a shower, and CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!

[vriddy]

Hell yeah getting stuff done! :D

[languajix]

Productivity!! That's awesome :D
