Feb. 23rd, 2022 10:38 pmHit the point where I was making more mistakes than good choices on my NaMo model, so that's that for the night. Got the branches and leaves painted - tomorrow, flowers.

I think that last night I finally finished the rough draft of my current fic WIP! *confetti* This damn story has been fighting me every step of the way, so I am SO GLAD to have the rough draft done. I'm going to start on the second draft/rewrite next. I enjoy the rewrite stage the most, which is apparently mildly weird. (Though again, I usually do relatively soft rewrites - not the hardcore "cut at least 80% and completely redo it" kind.)
I have the feeling that even after a second draft, this will be one of those "eh, good enough" projects. It was a bit out of my comfort zone in terms of genre... not totally dissimilar, but a bit, with a relatively straightforward romance as the A-plot, and written to follow a pre-existing summary. I don't regret writing it, but if it hadn't been for a challenge that I'd promised to complete, (and if I hadn't posted part of it already), I would almost certainly have dropped it. :P
-
So uh... how about the bombings in Kyiv (and elsewhere in Ukraine)? Alex is listening to coverage. I know it's been a known threat, but it seemed like an awful lot of people were very insistent that of course Russia and Ukraine wouldn't go to war... surprise. I don't have any great or insightful commentary on it, just... yikes, wish it hadn't come to this.
