Feeling accomplished!
I managed to bang out most of my chengxian minibang fic! Now it's mostly edits left. As I expected, I'll be clocking in somewhat over the 5K tier I signed up for, but I won't reach the 10K of tier 2.
It's been a rewarding story to write! I'm a writer who usually focuses more on introspection and short little character pieces than actual plot. I think that still shines through, but this time, I actually managed to follow the semblance of an actual narrative.
Wei Wuxian is a fun, yet difficult character to write. I've tried my best to make him as the narrator think his way carefully around topics he is well-aware of but doesn't want to address - difficult, but fun. I think I managed to pull it off okay; I'm actually way more worried about my Jiang Cheng characterization. I might have made him way too tsundere... We'll see once I'm through with editing and have the finale finished up.
I was so productive today that I actually put myself back on schedule. Was ADHD meds the thing I needed to finally be able to keep up with bigbang deadlines? I feel unstoppable lol.
Dreamwidth is still going well. I like to check the reading page in the morning, it moves comfortably slowly. And having a place to put stuff like this is nice. Tumblr, even though it is also anonymous, still feels to public somehow.
