the_rckI've posted my H/C Exchange story. I've also gotten the Wayback Exchange story moving again. I'm not 100% sure that what I'm going to do is a thing the recipient will love, but it fits the prompt and doesn't include any DNWs. I just didn't get a very detailed request this time around, so I'm worried about missing lines that I don't know are there. My intention was to write very conservatively, but that's not what my write brain is giving me right now.
Scott took Cordelia to a concert in Detroit last night. Ben Platt, I think. Cordelia found out about the concert on Friday, on Instagram. We have the impression that the venue thought there wouldn't be many people because tickets sold at the last minute. Someone told Scott that it was because the singer recently lost his grandmother and might have needed to or wanted to be with his family. I think it's possible that the tickets simply weren't on sale earlier. It's also possible that the ticket sales took a hit from the proximity to AP tests. None of Cordelia's friends could go because of that.
Once I knew Scott and Cordelia would be out in the evening, I set up a write-in with a local friend. She got the better part of an exchange assignment done while I edited the H/C story and sweated blood over the Wayback story.
I'm considering signing up for the Turing exchange which is for stories centered on robots/AI. Sign ups end this evening (midnight Central, I think), so I still could. I just hate the process of writing requests. I'm considering nominating for the Nonconathon, but it's also an effort. I don't plan on signing up for it, just pinch hitting and treating, so I'd be nominating things in hopes that someone would be tempted into requesting them so that I could write them. I have some half written stories from last year was thinking that I should nominate those things as I likely could finish them if someone still wanted them.
I looked at the Not Prime Time pinch hits and was kind of relieved that nothing there seemed like a thing I could reasonably attempt. I may use more of last October's prompts to get myself writing when I stall. I'd like to finish the set, but I think there are some I need to swap out because I now look at them and just don't want to write them. Once I've done 31 prompts, I'll select another set. Or maybe write for one of the ancient bingo cards I've got tucked away.
I also have to back up more of my current WIP to the DreamWidth account I use for that. I keep intending to and then seeing the pile getting bigger and more daunting.
My hands are frustrating me because, while they don't hurt as much, the pain when I do things without the splints is sharper and more noticeably attributable to the lack of support. It means that I'm wearing the splints more because the difference is more noticeable. The frustrating part of that is that the splints-- all splints I've ever used on any body part-- hurt, too, just in different ways. I had been doing without at night and when only doing something like typing that shouldn't be a big stress because I really need to rest from the splints. This is no longer such a great idea.
