the_rckI gave up on the WBEx story I was working on and went to work on a different prompt for the same fandom. My main worry about the second prompt is managing to get to 1000 words without it being really heavily padded. I've got 360 words, and I suspect that, by 500 words, I'll have exhausted my initial idea. I'm not sure how to twist things to continue from that. It's also a really weird sort of story, something I haven't tried before. My recipient's prompts and letter make me think they'd be open to it, and there really isn't another way to approach this one, at least not one I can think of. Well, maybe if I weren't utterly terrible at writing distant, omniscient third person.
I'm at 23K words for March so far which puts me at 79K (ish) for the year. I've got three WIP that might be postable soon (including the one due Friday that must be postable) plus the longfic which won't be ready for a long time and a second chapter to go with a first that's already posted.
Scott seems to have had a good day at work yesterday. He says it's going to take a lot of getting used to and that his FitBit is kind of cranky with him for moving around so much less. I had trouble wrapping my head around him not getting home until 5:45 but also not needing to spend two hours in the bathroom after getting home. We had some evening time. It won't be dinner together, but we weren't getting that anyway and won't while I'm still getting up with Cordelia.
My right index finger still hurts, but I'm either getting used to it or learning to work around it because I'm doing less swearing about it. I'm actually trying to make my own pain scale because the more I look at the standard one the less sense it makes to me. I've jotted down ideas, but I'm not sure that they're an actual sequence or a few sets of overlapping sequences. Probably the latter. A headache that's gone by the time I've been out of bed an hour is probably at the same level as 'it hurts when I do this specific thing that I only do once an hour.' Sharp pains that last less than ten minutes and don't recur are completely irrelevant and don't count at all.
