timepiececlockI'm up to 4100 6100(!!) words. I've spent the morning sniffling through my nose and rewriting the first half of the fic, balancing out the amount of description to dialogue. This was especially bothering me in the beginning, and I think I've mostly worked it out to my satisfaction now. I've also been tweaking parts to update it to current canon, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
akavertigo, your idea about hand-grabbing worked pretty well for that, I think.
I've been doing this to avoid doing the love-making part of the fic. I don't know why exactly I'm avoiding it; I've already written a portion. I think it's because I'm still mulling over how explicit I want to get. I have a desire to make it pretty, and I have difficulty making it pretty if I use really graphic language. But at the same time I want to challenge myself to write something genuinely mature-rated, since I've only done it once before, in Turnabout. But that was a Buffy/Spike ficlet, and graphic language is perfect for Buffy/Spike; I can be as explicit as I want and the tone still works for the pairing (even so, I was only medium-explicit in that ficlet, and only for like a paragraphs.)
I need to stop whining about this and write it.
EDIT: btw, I woke up at abput 5:45 this morning thanks to the cat being unknowingly trapped in my room all night. I'd gone to sleep at about 10:30, which was way early for me. So I stayed awake all morning, then napped for about half an hour, and still haven't gotten out of bed. I can type from bed (only benefit of living in half a tiny room.)

Date: 2006-04-01 01:12 am (UTC)God, I've written 1300+ words today, and that's not counting rewrites! ::is feeling super-prolific, for me::
I've gotten the first 2/3 of it completely done, and now I'm working on the resolution. I'm not quite sure on what note I want to end it. Think, think!
Anyway, thanks for listening to my play-by-play today.
You know what?
Date: 2006-04-01 01:44 am (UTC)Fuck you, resolution! Fuck you, falling action! I don't you, I never liked you anyway! ::gives resolution the middle finger::
::goes back to weep over fic::
