the wings that you burn turn to ashes, my dear

I still don't know if WIP Wednesday is a thing I'm going to keep doing in the long run, but today I have things to talk about, so hey, what the hell.

NaNo is going pretty well actually, considering all the things I have to do this week. It's book fair week, so I'm at Q's school two nights this week (since no one else wants to be there the whole time) which cuts into my writing time. I'm ahead on word count because between this and the craft fair next weekend, my hands are full.

I decided to try and write out the prom/Island of Illusion section of Seven Seas of Rhye, and I'm doing pretty well in that regard. I've also been able to go to write ins with a lot more frequency - my writing group is pretty decent, and we give away prizes for whoever writes the most during the meeting. I've won two Sundays in a row! XD I also ended up with three weekends off in a row (two I requested, one as a bonus) so that's helping tremendously.

Last Sunday I managed to draft a rough version of the fight with Dramole that sends the Rangers to the Island of Illusion. I hadn't gone back to read it because I know it's really rough - most of my fight scenes are, but at least I'm through it - and I found this passage to be particularly hilarious.

( look, I had to destroy the Megazord somehow and melting it just seemed like the best option when you're doing word sprints )

In other news, I think I'm going to restart my hlh_shortcuts assignment. I still adore my original idea, but I'm not sure it suits the recipient as well as I'd hoped. Also, I'm second guessing everything again, which doesn't help.

I also signed up for Yuletide, and holy shit. I am so hyped for my assignment. I hope it comes out as good as I want it to be in my head.
