I know I keep just liveblogging my weird ass writing process rn but I did realize that the issue when I get into a section where things are quieter and there isn't some major plot beat is that my brain responds like. the fucking email form fields that start yelling at you the moment you type something because it's not a valid email.
I was just sitting here trying to figure out what I felt was wrong with the chapter I'd just finished and it's because it's slower. It also ends with a very quiet but (ideally) stomach-dropping beat! And it's the chapter in the middle of a section! Why are you yelling at me! It's doing exactly what it needs to be doing! The section's not done yet! Shut the fuck up!
#yanno that comic. you know which one. the face that figure makes going 'I'M NOT DONE YET' was my exact feeling upon realizing this.#this section is also like. very much the calm before the storm too.#it's for building atmosphere and tension! the next section is for things spiraling apart! the section after is them dealing with the mess!#fucking. 10-ish chapters before this is done. I'm going to kill.#I literally sat here stewing over this chapter for two days instead of writing the next one. christ alive#megs is writing#anyway. I should start using my writing tag as documentation.#next time I'm like 'ugh this is so bad I can't go on' I'm gonna come skim this tag and be like 'YES YOU CAN YOU DUMB BITCH'#I can finish this in the next month. I can do that.#I am going to fucking finish this draft in the next month.
