the_rckI got about seven hours of sleep last night. Scott had to go in early this morning (third shift is down two people, one on vacation and the other fired for not showing up), so I expected I'd have to stay up late, but Cordelia told me I should go to be, and I did. I was less tired then than I've been at almost any point since mid-August, but I knew that, if I didn't sleep then, I'd be exhausted today.
I spent a bit of time yesterday editing Gathered from the Gales. I added about 1K words and will likely add at least that much more today. I'm trying to give Nagi an emotional through line. It's his POV, and he's very involved, so he what he feels about it all needs to be in the text.
If I can get this and the other two completely drafted stories all the way to posting on AO3, I'll have 96 stories there (not all complete but still). Part of me really wants a round 100 as soon as I can get, however briefly I end up keeping it. If I try do it by the end of the year, those stories will likely be Amber just because I think those will be faster to write. Then again, I didn't expect to write two Sky High stories (one not yet posted) in a week, either, and that third story requires a fourth if I'm not going to get hate mail for not answering the major question that runs through the series even though the story starts out obviously heading that way.
I still think I was right not to commit to Yuletide this year. If I'd gotten really lucky, I might have written something that I found easy the way last year's story was, but I've had years when writing the story felt like dealing with a toddler having a tantrum a grocery store parking lot.
We watched part of the CW's DC show crossover set last night. I slept through the first two episodes Monday night and only stayed up for The Flash and a small bit of Legends of Tomorrow. Nothing in what I saw really caught me to the point that I stopped questioning the world building. It's not that the story or presentation of it were terrible, just that certain sorts of things interest me more than the actual action plot.
