Round 57, Hour 42

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

Well, if it isn't my favourite people! I've returned from conquering the bed, have breakfasted on cookies, and am now settling in to do all the research I've been putting off all week.

You all seem to be productive, or at least very good at your Productivity Facades. Do catch me up on what I missed!

I ate lunch. I worded. I realized that even though the file I have open is supposed to be a fluffy pretend-boyfriend trope I still need to plan a series of events and interactions that gets me to the endgame. AAARGH MURDER DEATH KILL. I almost decided to make my quite nice OCs actually bad guys, because I can write conflict created by people trying to destroy each other, but I'm apparently terrible at conflict created by people trying to fix each other.

Lunch was good though.

Ugh, still struggling through writing my Yuletide letter (seriously, this should not be harder to do that writing actual fic). I'm eating now and will hopefully make more progress on either my letter or the fic from yesterday.

I took a brisk walk with my aunt. I drank a lot of water. I'm going to sit here and eat peanuts until my sodium levels get back to normal.

I've edited a good chunk of one fic, so that's something! Especially since I've been avoiding the editing process for awhile. :)

No but like emails, letters, and submission forms take forever because I have to simonize every detail. Trust, I feel you.

writing nice people who care about each other is a difficult task. good luck with that!!

(also, pretend boyfriends will never not be one of my favourite tropes)

yay! I'm sure your characters are glad their story is more coherent :D

I wrote a 9 point plan for conflict followed by resolution where resolution = sex. I'm probably not going to get further on writing that particular story today but I feel good about putting some structure in place.
