There's not much WIP on this Wednesday, I'm afraid. Stress is eating me alive, I had to open yesterday, then go back to the store for a meeting after close, and open this morning, so my head hurts and I'm fucking exhausted. If Q wakes me up early tomorrow on my day off, it's not going to be great for either of us.
I did manage to finish my Press Start assignment this week, and it tapped out at over 9k. Letting it sit a few days before I do a first round of edits, and try to figure out if I need to add anything major to it. I've also started looking over my treat list, but nothing solid is coming out yet. I still have some time, but I also don't want to rush it, either. I could do something short, and then I wouldn't feel bad about not writing a second story for the challenge.
I also had an idea of trying to write some platonic Raijin/Fujin/Seifer for the Successor Challenge, but that is currently so nebulous that there's no way in hell that will be finished before August is out, much less edited to post. I'll let that ruminate for a while and see if anything comes of it.
Editing continues. I thought I was in the last hundred pages but, uh... my count was off. There's also no way I have this to Runic before August is out. I'm just fucking up deadlines all over the place. At this rate, I'm now going to shoot for "please get this draft to Runic before NaNo starts." There's a "slow and steady wins the race" comment to be made here but mostly I'm just frustrated with myself. I'll get over it.
This week's editing also included having to spend a ton of time changing literally every sentence of one scene. I'm going to try to type in those edits this evening if I feel up it, and I'm curious to see if anything of the first draft actually remains. The scene in question is AJ looking over some of Jason's old football articles and feeling inadequate and well, that's a feeling I know well.
On a personal note: Does reworking my resume count as writing? Asking for a friend.
Going to focus on getting my cranky ass some sleep and some comfort activities. Maybe it will help.
