Work is currently slow, i.e. frequently boring. But I'm alone in my office (everyone else is on vacation), so nobody sees what I do on my computer. I wrote over a thousand words of fic today! I'm very proud of myself. (Let's ignore that I could have been working on my thesis.)
I wrote almost 5k of this fic in a little over a week, which is excellent. I'm even mostly satisfied with what I wrote, but not quite happy, for some reason. I don't think I really have the voices right (I ordered Children's Crusade and I hope it'll arrive soon.) But I don't think I've ever been completely happy with anything I wrote, so whatever.
I'm about a quarter through the outline, with many good scenes still to come. Including scenes with less dialogue, at least a few. But not many. Why is there so much dialogue in there? Oh right, smart people talk to each other.
I'm tiiired. Didn't even have the energy to go into the garden and see if the tomatoes or plums are already ripe. This having-a-job-thing is hard (and a ton of additional OTW work doesn't help, ugh.) Especially because I'm currently the only one at home, so there's nobody to remind me to do things like having dinner.
Speaking of.
