the_rckMy writing hasn't progressed much in the last week. I've been pondering ways to make one character a bit more sympathetic or at least how to make sure that readers can see why he's being such a jerk so that they're not surprised when I rattle him a bit and have him start behaving better. It's a particular challenge because he's not honest with himself and tends to be nasty to people as a way of avoiding looking at truths that bother him.
I am still working on the commentary that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chibimora asked for on chapter 1 of "Rheotaxis." I think I'm about 2/3 of the way through the chapter. It's a fascinating exercise and is giving me a way to think about the story while I'm too tired to write anything much new. I'd feel bad about taking so long to complete this, but the chapter really is very long. Besides, I've been e-mailing pieces of the commentary to chibimora as I complete them, so she's not being kept waiting unnecessarily.
Even the commentary's bogged down in the last few days, though. I'm in desperate need of a good night's sleep and can't seem to think clearly enough to write anything that isn't pretty much stream of consciousness (like this). And even here, I have a fear that I'm going to babble incoherently and embarrass myself.
Sigh... It's a very good thing I love my baby girl. Otherwise, I'd be even more frustrated. As it is... Well, I look at her, and it's all pretty much worthwhile.
