jaebilityCurrently working on:
- "Fine Art" (Digimon 02; slash)
- "Birds & Bees (Coraline; gen, light het)
- "Masca" (original; gen; light femslash)
- TTBtM (original; het)
Little smattering of everything! I've been mostly working on my original crap, but then this weekend I began preparing the next chapter of FA: I think I have the layout all set. Also, I found some good lines when I was searching through my FA notebook that I can steal. And B&B is chugging along. I really like writing in Wybie's voice - He's such an awkward sweetheart.
I'm at 6000+ words with "Masca," and this second draft is a huge improvement on the first one.
Old first sentence: "The children of Alysinin hid in the gray rocks of the mountains, with only thin rabbits and scarce berries for food and with only the sparse, prickly pine trees for protection against the cold swirling wind that slid down from the white peaks."
New first sentence: "They squatted in the canyons, in the gaps between boulders."
First one was way too stuffy, too self-important. Jae: Your writing is bad and you should feel bad. I dropped the name of the tribe completely from the story and chopped the whole creation-myth to about half of its original length. And I think the ending's finally in sight. Some kissing, some more undressing, then some burning buildings and it'll be over. Hopefully I'll have something halfway decent to show the writers group.
