Slow Going With The Writing, Slow Going With The Blogging

Slow going with the writing, slow going with the blogging

I keep meaning to post more, but then I get distracted with writing the "current" WIP. I'm probably around 13k words in now, which is several thousand more than I originally thought, and it's only about half-done. (I currently think it's going to be in the ballpark of 25k - ish?)

I might be attacked by the spirit of the red pen and cut it down some in the end... but I doubt it. (I keep editing what I have done; I'm pretty sure it's better than it was before, but I put in as much as I take out in the end.)

Still, I'm telling myself I'm this far in, I have to finish and post it eventually!

In any case, thought I'd post some little bits like this as "anonymous fic updates" so I can look back and remember what it was like working on this.

New definition of gritty reboot: the story is exactly the same, but one main character has been replaced by Gritty.

On a related note -- kinda worried about what this means for my media comprehension skills. I've watched that scene a dozen times, and only now just caught on... it's a fairly subtle thing, but was I just oblivious or am I getting too deep in a headcanons-upon-headcanons sense?

(Note to self in case I forget about this later... this is the part to do with metallurgy)

Woke up at 5AM thinking about my current WIP chapter and suddenly realized what was subconsciously bugging me about the scene I was writing, in a "how did I miss that" kind of way.

Thought about it for hours; completely rewrote half a dozen paragraphs.

I like it better now...

There's still something bugging me, but I figure I'll fix it in rewrites.

Parents Supporting Their LGBT Kids During Pride Month.

Psych is now old enough to runaway from home and travel the world on a motorcycle, holding various odd jobs while hopelessly seeking a sense of purpose.

I have realized that the perfect form of media must have a delicate balance between absolutely heart wrenching pure emotional devastation and the most ridiculous nonsense you have ever seen in your whole life
