11. What are you planning to work on next? or 17. What things (scenes/topics/character types) are you most comfortable writing?

11.  Well, I honestly don’t know.  Part of me wants to finish up my ancient spirk.  Part of me wants to write something short and sweet for Pinto de Mayo.  And then I have ideas for a 00q story, and a story for The Martian (a tiny and nearly dead fandom… I really shouldn’t bother).  Both of those are compelling and really different (00q probably fairly kinky, though also playing with some typical tropes, The Martian being much more traditional and (gasp) het (who am I even??)).  I still have disaster pinto feels, but I really think my pinto obsession has run its course.  Part of why Cleaving is taking so long is my head is in other characters.  So probably one of those, or I might actually start trying to work on some ofic world building for my long conceived faerie/science tale…

17.  I feel like I’m pretty comfortable with a number of character types, and I’m  comfortable writing a range of “moods (kink and angst and fluff), but I definitely gravitate (at least lately) to “dorks falling in love” scenarios.  I think in some ways this is a step backward.  My first fanfic was really a character study of multiple characters, and how they got from one place (character-development wise) to another.  I think there’s a bit of that in my Pinto writing, but maybe it’s not as developed, and more me just smashing faces together.  After a misunderstanding.  Or seven. 

Part of the appeal of trying my hand at 00q is to try to develop a mission… some technical/action element.  I haven’t done anything like that in a long time.

i mean i love LA… but the pollution is legit bad for everyone’s health. and it doesn’t help that i live right next to a freeway. i basically have low grade allergy symptoms all year long.

It took me an hour and a half to drive 14 miles up a freeway.  I’m way allergic to that.  But my allergic reaction was a full-body rash…so probably not smog.  But it made the doctor laugh, so that was fun.

look, you don’t have to update on any kind of schedule. you just don’t. I hope that you can find some quiet moments amid all the busy stuff in your life and delve into the stuff about the story that brings you joy and lets you get immersed in that world. basically TAKE YOUR TIME

Thank you for that!  I really do appreciate it.  I’m just afraid that the longer it goes, the harder it will be to get immersed.  So I’m going to try to get back in sooner rather than later.

*flails* So much love for this story. Take as much time as you need with the finale, but try not to overthink it. I’m sure it’ll be as perfect as the rest. <333

Thank you!  And you know I’m totally overthinking it.  Sigh.  I have a plan.  I’m pretty sure it’s a good one.  But for some reason I’m second guessing   But I’m going to try to get something down and see if it works.
