#as he can't leave where he is

I love the writing memes of;

"yay ideas!"

"oh, no, I have to write them."

But I don't...feel that. Ideas are fun and all but I like the making them into something bit more.

I love putting the ideas into practice and seeing where they lead me, I love researching things to ground what the idiots in my head want to do in some form of reality.

All the little details I had to work out for my own invented world were candy to me. Learning about ecosystems to create my own was a downright delight. I've only had to make one map so far but it was so much fun I can't wait to do another for the next book.

Covers even, while they frustrate because I don't trust my art skill, they are fun to figure out. To try and find something that works and says enough without saying too much.

Most of the parts I love doing, in fact!

I even enjoy revision. Not a huge fan of editing, but that's mostly my brain insisting extra letters are needed because I grew up reading a lot of classic European literature and apparently 'u' is not as prominent anymore in the spelling of some words. I also use words too old for spellcheck on occasion, which is amusing.

Marketing, however, and anything related...I hate. I think I genuinely hate it. I've put all my love into this thing but my brain still insists it isn't good enough to hold up and ask you to buy. So it's hard.

Point is I could write all day every day. Sadly, I need to keep this meat breathing and the house from falling apart around me, and also I don't really make much doing it. So I can't just write constantly (I've done it anyway and my family checks on me if I've been quiet too long because of it).

That was a whole lot to ask if anyone else actually enjoys the writing part over the ideas part.

I might be a tad excitable today.

luke fumbling in recruiting percy has to be one of his greatest failures. a beautiful thing the show does regarding luke and percy's relationship is building rapport between them through shared moments like settling into camp, eating meals together, but especially through swordfighting lessons. the swordfighting scene at the beginning of episode 8 not only reveals that percy and luke already share similar beliefs about the fear-based system the gods have cultivated, but it's clear the conversation stays with percy when he fights ares and later calls out zeus on his waning skills as a father and a king. however, luke's plan fell through the moment percy learned that the winged-shoes were meant to drag him to tartarus. not only that, but the shoes nearly killed grover, a friend percy cared for deeply. if nourishing loyalty and trust was the key to ensuring a partnership with percy, then it was luke's faulty planning, arrogance, and impatience that cost him the greatest ally he could ask for.

the fanfic writing experience is writing lines that give you butterflies and knowing others probably will gloss right over it.

Ted saying that no driver has had this level of attention on them since Michael Schumacher...

Gentlemen, a short view into the past; Max's debut season, his Red Bull debut, the literal rule changed as a result of his debut in the sport... oh and everyone and their mother calling Kimi Max 2.0 and Toto's second chance at signing debut!Max since he failed the first time around...

I’m Not The Sun

Y'know, when Kon ‘died’, do you think a grieving Tim could have mistaken Danny for his best friend? Do you think that, in a moment of desperation and exhaustion, he might've kidnapped a floating Danny in an attempt to bring Kon home? And when he realized he kidnapped a random civilian, do you think he still kept Danny for a while as a replacement for Kon?

Do you think Danny got tired of being called 'Conner' after the first week but was too distressed himself to correct Tim? Trying to leave or tell the fellow teen his name was Danny was obviously sending the kid into a spiral. He seemed to think Danny was the dead spirit of his best friend. Maybe if he played along, this Conner guy would show back up?

Hopefully, before Tim completes his cloning research. Danny's been doing everything he can to sabotage the equipment, but even with ghost powers on his side, Tim is a smart person. Every time Danny sets him back one step, Tim takes two steps forward. And since he's well outside of his haunt, Danny is starting to feel weak and ill from lack of ectoplasm. He's running out of time.

Do you think Kon would feel upset that his best friend replaced him?

The Medic doesn't sleep

technically for my Family Web au, but not necessarily. Basically just Leo refusing to sleep b/c he's needs to keep an eye on sick siblings (who he herded into his room for convenience.)
