I think I've found a temporary end point for the story that has been eating my brain. It's currently at a bit over 19K words, but the last section either needs much more written or to be chopped back. I think the main reason I didn't stop it was that it was 2K words shorter than part 3 which was about that much shorter than part 2. Part 1 is longest and clocks in at nearly 8K words.

This is the story I thought I was writing when I started my most recently posted Sky High AU. So that's a thing. A very, very dark thing. I have no idea why I thought that this story could be written from Warren's POV. He obviously has to be a black box for it to work.

We went out for breakfast on Saturday to celebrate Scott's job change. We went to Bob Evans. They were only half full, but they were also less than half staffed, so they were keeping people waiting in the lobby. Usually, I have pancakes when we go there, but we didn't get seated until after 11, so I went for a burger. I think that was the right call.

I woke around 45 minutes early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. That means I only slept about five hours last night. I'm not feeling it yet, but tomorrow will be harder because of it. I'm trying to figure out how to move things that require wakeful attention to earlier points in the week from here on out. It likely won't happen, but it would be a good idea for me.

Fatigue brain problems don't generally keep me from writing, but they make everything else, including knowing when I ought to go to bed, harder. Also, what I end up writing generally isn't the stuff that has a deadline, so it's not useful for me to put off my WBEx story with the idea of getting other things done while they're easier.

That is good to have the temporary end point! :) I'm still pressing on with Alanna -- we are almost at the end, I believe. I'm going to look at it with fresh eyes today to see if my dialogue is flowing well or if I've gone overboard just trying to finish.

I could technically expand this out into another part, but I keep thinking that I ought to end this and be done with it. I don't know if I'm going to want to write much more about these characters.
