Kind of update?

1. On the list of things I enjoy doing entirely too much: Reading blog posts aloud in the style and tone-of-voice of a precocious five-year-old. As you can imagine, Hyperbole and a Half is almost perfect for this.

2.I signed up with a temp agency, and put in a job application somewhere, for something I might be half-qualified to do. I don't have any confidence that either of these will actually mean money, but at this point I really do have to try.

3. The intertubes have been buggy (more than usual)for the past couple of days, but we appeared to have fixed it.

4. So, I've decided to actually start watching the second season. I think the best thing I can say is some of the casting/styling decisions for the minor characters are perfect. Nishida and Makizono more perfectly. Also: Katsuragi? Kind of awesome. I don't like a lot of the way the story was changed to accommodate her background with Akiyama, but OMFG a FEMALE MASTERMIND CHARACTER, and she captures the calm sleaziness of manga!Yokoya better than his actual drama adaptation. Also: Eri.

This still doesn't mean I like what happened with the main three though. >.< Ugh.

5. Fic wise, it fell by the wayside a bit, but I'm going through what I've written so far on my megaflare_ff and making notes about what scenes need to be added, and what needs to be changed in existing scenes so that the beginning can be what the end needs. So far I have about 15,000 words already, so I actually think I'm good on length (if I can't make at least an extra 5k just putting in what I need, I'll be surprised).

I still need to think of a title, but nothing is jumping out at me.

ETA

6. Reminder: I am still for sale at help_pakistan. I promise whatever I write for the people who win won't suck.

Reassurance, I guess. Also boring process notes.

I'm going through what I've written and inventorying scenes that need to be written for my Megaflare.

Oh yeah...this is gonna blow past the 20k mark.

Basically, I have the beginning, the major plot points/climaxes, and the resolution/ending and a faint trail connecting them. So what's needed is the "Okay, if the climax works like this, then I need to bring up similar situations here and there" and the "Well, if I want to use this gimmick for this major plot point, then I want it to also show up here where it's more minor" moments.

And then, of course, then reworking/rearranging existing scenes to fit in the other ones (basically by taking a less direct/smooth path from one scene to the next).

Then I suppose I'll have to write other scenes to make the new ones make sense.

Yeah, yeah, laugh at the short fic writer doing a big bang challenge.
