better statements
Feb. 7th, 2020 05:38 pmFor the TMA Rarepairs exchange I was assigned someone who had excellent prompts. I then made the huge tactical mistake of picking the prompt I was most excited about and starting to write a story for it. I kept having more and more feelings about these characters - they're so fascinating! There's so much to think about! And from "hey this could be fun to write" I went to "I really really want this to be good," and with that came the insecurity about every line, and the stress because I have a deadline (tomorrow morning.)
I think I could even write a decent version of that fic, but it really needs more time than I have, so I've decided to leave that one for later and write a different, shorter one for the exchange. The minimum word count is 500 words, this is doable. I even have a great idea! ...oh no I'm starting to develop more feelings.
(This is me procrastinating. Bad self, go do something.)
ETA: I went for a run, that totally counts as something. Now for the writing...
ETA 2: Writing happened! Success. (Next, editing, uh-oh.)
