Well, more words. I may have written myself to a little bit of progress--that is, I wrote enough rubbish to get my brain going & I may have actually discovered a bit more of the story I'm trying to tell while doing so. I don't mind pruning the rubbish out as long as I have the good bits, so that's all right. Hm.

I finally posted a fic tonight that's been a WIP haunting me for nearly a year.

Tea for Three was always troublesome because it has het and an unusual pairing and some bad blood between main characters. I was always a bit trepidacious about reception, and about getting myself into cultural or fandom hot water. I first wrote it when I was trying to get my archive word count up for Blind Go last year but held it back for all these reasons and rewrote it way too many times. My whole view of one of the characters evolved over this time, which rather complicated the task.

As a result, my remix fic hasn't budged much today but I did a bit of editing - its going to need a lot more before posting ^_~

I'm not working on the WIP Challenge, but I couldn't pass up the (rare XD) opportunity to be able to say "I wrote a ficlet today!" 759 words :D

I did consider trying a second one but life got in the way. Perhaps another day!

Yeah, I'm getting better at giving myself permission to write crap, & then ruthlessly weeding out the crap (or at least I hope I've managed to weed it out), which helps! \o/

650 words of not much more than an outline of a scene, but okay, it's always easier to get back and edit when there's something there to edit in the first place. I'm also feeling much more secure in the characterization of one of the guys. That was bugging me a lot when I started, so... yay, I guess?

Remix has a rough draft! Who wants cookies? :D

Also, listened to the director's commentary of canon for another fic. I may do a proper canon review tomorrow.

I ended up losing net words today. I had a horrible scene transition where I'd just starting blathering about boring things, details, and actions that contributed nothing and stalled the narrative momentum. I got over my sentimentality, stopped futzing with it trying to make it relevant, and trashed the lot.

Wrote a few new words in a different scene, but still need to glue a couple scenes together in a way that is not boring. Also wrote some expository prose for a new story. Needs a complete rewrite, but I nabbed a few ideas before I forgot them.

I always write my dialogue heavy scenes this way. It works really well, I think! Yay for 650 words.
