tiny_ninjaWIP Wednesday!
My writing is all over the place this week. With the major edit to A Hero Lies in You finished, and my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
hlh_shortcuts assignment yet to come in, I'm kind of floundering, letting myself write whatever. I've written a little bit for Ninjetti, some AU stuff, started another Steve/Darcy AU that's probably not going to go anywhere, but it was fun to write down some details. That one was art history major!Steve and pre-law!Darcy sharing a building on campus and like... idk, maybe I blocked out more of my memories of college than I originally thought I did, because it sounds awkward.
I'm still striving to finish up all the random scenes I started in Seven Seas of Rhye (formerly Ninjetti) before NaNo starts. One of them is the scene where the Rangers basically tell off the feds in a handful of different languages. It's a scene that I've seen in my head for months now but is proving more difficult to get on paper than I thought it would be. Here's a snippet!
I'm like 2/3 through my final re-read of A Hero Lies in You. Most of the changes I'm making now are minor ones, and I'm going to save anything major (like adding scenes) for draft two, when I can discuss things with Runic, Meghan, and Matt and what their thoughts are about certain scenes/characters. I've been pushing myself so hard for so long that I feel like doing something wrong if I don't have something major to work on right now. This feeling will fade, and I know it's looped into my anxiety, but it's not making me feel any better.
Maybe I just need to remind my mind that it's okay to take a break every once in a while, too.

The agents looked at each other, and then back to the group. “Say all that again, in English this time,” Reed said.
“No hablo ingles,” Trini said, shrugging.
“They’re exchange students,” Jason said, meeting the agents’ eyes. This was the one thing he could do to get these guys off their backs. He’d lied for years while he was at the height of his popularity. Mostly to himself, but that wasn’t the point. “Most of them have just arrived in town.”
“So there’s no chance they were here for any of the Power Ranger attacks?” Reed pressed on.
Jason snorted. It took everything he had not to remind these idiots that, no, the Power Rangers were not the bad guys in these situations. “Pretty sure the Rangers were the ones defending the town, not attacking it.”
“May we ask you a few-” Watson tried to continue, but Jason held up his hand.
“Sorry, I’m underage. I’m not speaking to you without a lawyer or my parents.” Which was true. Jason wouldn’t turn 18 until June, and the twins in July. They were the youngest members of the team, and while the responsibility on their shoulders made it so they weren’t nearly as innocent as they seemed, Jason didn’t mind pulling the kid card when it suited him.
Watson crossed his arms. “This isn’t a criminal investigation. You’re not in trouble.”
“Don’t care,” Jason shot back. “And neither do my friends.”
