Progess Day 2: Nicky needs hugs
EDIT: Black Cat's Eve is absolute homocidal love.
Best Line: "Is that an order, Alistar?"
This is all I've done since 11:30 today and this is all I have to show for it. I should be happy that I now have two whole scenes done, but I'm not. I would have done more had I not come to the midpoint of my second scene and gone completely blank for an hour or so. It hurts when I realize my old stuff was so forced and ill-thought out in this chapter. NaNoWriMo doesn't function for me the way it functions for everyone else. It's not just a command to write down as much as possible. It's a command to make me operate on a schedule again. Being sick for the past few days hindered this. My target is at least half a scene a day. I also had to go back and trim a bunch of stuff since my original version was 8 pages, my unedited version was 12 pages and my edited version is 10.25 pages. I'm especially sad I had to cut my fun innunedo segment but it contributed little to the scene, other than my own gratification. I overwrite like crazy. I'm tired of being dialogue's bitch, especially three-person dialogue, which almost always requires you to state who's speaking. I really should make Ty confront his Guardians' relationship somewhere before the fight chapters start up. I just want an excuse to write more Ty/Nick stuff. The fangirl part of me wants to slash them, but the "sane" writer side says their relationship works best as is. Besides, Ty's straight. ;_;
I'm craving fanart again. I might try to draw Erik some time this week since she's the only Guardian I lack. I also lack Ty, but I'm less concerned about him.
Sasuke-neko is the fastest thing I've ever seen. I had my door open for about five minutes all day long and she managed to get inside without anyone seeing while I was in my room. I spent an hour looking for her all around the house too because I was certain there was no way she could have gotten in my room. She ditched her pretty purple collar too. Mean kitten. She's still picking on the bigger cats and still getting thwapped. No restraint.
