1.01am:

started on the noyaken, and I'm using the previous 5k that I already wrote to springboard into the new fic idea.

spotted a writing blooper while I was transferring the fic into Google Docs lmao:

There are three posters on the wall of Nishinoya’s favourite anime series, books and loose papers are scattered all over the floor, and there’s a skateboard and volleyboor lying haphazardly in the corner.

I HAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS.

also this fic reminded me of all the times that goddamn Kuroyaku wrote themselves into my fics without me even knowing that I shipped them. they're such an annoying and obnoxious pair, geeeez. pretty much all my older fics - including the one that was meant to be a Yakunoya - have an Extra Amount of Kuroyaku that I never planned nor asked for.

2pm:

I have determined that I'm not facing a Kuroyaku drought. I'm facing a writing drought, like in general. in line with that, I've stopped on writing anything at all (hopefully it doesn't last too long ugh I don't want to forget how to write fiction) since I was just rereading without wanting to write anything orz would be a good time to catch up with my backlog of fics too.

thoughts about Kuroyaku week have come back so I'm... probably gonna do something about that.

monday | may 1

I had the whole day to write since today was a public holiday, but only got to ~700 words ;n;

... after I wrote the line above, I went and rearranged some things and ended up with 961, which is, okay, passable. I'd have liked to hit 1000 but I'm not gonna force it. (to be fair, a good deal of the last part I wrote was just them bantering)

Total word count: 4052

I've introduced three new characters in this fic so far, and one of them feels a bit like... a convenient plot device, which is why I'm very much on the fence rn. I'm reading this article about cliches, and it's talking about authenticity, and now I'm just worrying about everything. I'm starting to wonder if I'm writing this because I really want to, or if it's because I feel obliged to, and if I'm feeling like this because I'm writing a brand new cast that is leaving me way out of my depth. is my writing authentic enough? am I just faking it to sound deep and cool?

god, I hate this feeling. I doubt my story so far's all that bad, but I'm not particularly pleased with it, but I know that it's partially because I'm uncomfortable with this cast and am not really in their minds yet (unlike the case for Kuroyaku, lmao... then again, my earliest Kuroyaku fics also took a long time to write). but I guess I'm also feeling insecure about the plot? even though rationally, I know that it is a very solid plot?? idk shkadhkshkds ;;

have a writing blooper that I haven't fixed:

saturday | april 30

my wrist isn't hurting that much anymore! it was still painful this morning but over the course of the day it's been better. I'm continuing work on Timeless #8 now and this is what I found:

"... Akinori decides it's best that he telephonee them back."

I laughed so hard when I saw this (it's the last line in the draft atm) cos I wrote it when I was lying in bed, and on my phone. I think I was already half asleep when I wrote this, because no way would I have let such a typo slip lmaoooo.

while we're on the topic of writing fails, I'll just dig out my collection from when I was writing Across the Ages, which I compiled on Tumblr.

lines like these are the reason why I had hell editing ATA...
