Am freezing today, dunno why.
Woke 4am. Cat, who had been snuggling me, crawled out of my arms and went over and settled herself smugly in Dude’s arms, waking him up so that he would pet her. Both of us were awake. I called her a traitor. She purred at me. I didn’t really mind, it meant I could roll over and put my arm back into the socket. The way she really likes to sleep on my arm tends to sublux the shoulder joint….
I couldn’t get back to sleep. I’d gone to bed with my phone within reach, which I rarely do, but I picked it up and looked at it, which I don’t usually, and then that was the end of being asleep.
I got up and somehow managed to only be half an hour early for work…
Yesterday was kind of a hard day. I’ve been in a weird state of distress about trying to write the next bit of my Ongoing Saga, because there’s got to be actual consistency with earlier pieces. Given that I am a compulsive pantser, and never ever ever write to an outline, this is extremely stressful, because I only had a vague plan going into this, and now am faced with trying to line up some earlier parts which let’s just say were not exactly precision-machined. Obviously, obviously what I had to do was reread my own shit, and I was weirdly resistant to the idea, but yesterday I forced myself to crack into it and–
Well I reread most of the Trust series, and I was getting into it when the author’s note on the last chapter of Very Dark Magic kind of smacked me into the face. I’d been kind of cringing waiting for it but yeah I posted that chapter the day Dad died so.
There’s a reason I’ve mostly forgotten most of the details of those stories.
(I am meaning to go through my notifs and thank everyone and collect all the wonderful things y’all pointed out I should get illustrated, but that’s– some of you seem to think it’s misguided modesty on my part that I don’t think I wrote anything interesting, and that’s not it! It’s that much of last year, and especially the end of it and beginning of this one, is enshrouded in a gray mist and I can’t actually remember it very well, and that goes like, quadruple for shit I wrote, so when i say I can’t think of anything to illustrate it’s because I genuinely can’t remember those stories and this is why. It’s not like I can’t remember them, it’s that they’re like– thru a mirror dimly kinda.)
(sigh, some part of me is resisting going through those notes. Probably the same part that didn’t want to go back through the stories. B you need to do that, if you’re going to continue. You just have to. That’s how this works. Chin up.)
A word to the wise: Don’t write long series, without a plan. Don’t write things so long it will take you an entire day skimming at your best speed to review it. It’s a pain in the ass. And I’m so fucking sad now.
I had a bad moment around chapter 6 of Dusty Corridors, where I have a minor character have an opportunity to comment on something that in the sequel I’m writing she really ought to have very strong opinions on and information about by what I’m pretty sure is this point in the timeline, and she instead gives a blank diplomatic answer. Which won’t do, that won’t do at all– unless– ah, unless she’s playing her cards close to her chest? That could work? She needs to know about the thing by now, but– she’s not the POV character, it’s perfectly likely the POV character won’t pick up on whether she’s telling the truth or not!
so that might work. Maybe.
but I’m just so fucking sad now. No, I’d better keep working, or I’ll forget and need to put myself through rereading all of that again. It’s a bummer because it would be a good comfort read with a bit more distance. Maybe in a few more years I can come back and appreciate it the way I obviously meant it. (Your picture was not posted)
