(Post-)May Writing Update.
Jun. 1st, 2026 01:53 pmFinally!
I've wanted to post here for a while now, but I also didn't want to do anything at all, anywhere, until I got to the end of Part Two of the Endless Nightmare WIP... and boy, did the last chapter beat me bloody. Possibly one of the hardest scenes I've ever had to write... and given my tendency for plumbing extreme depths of angst, grief, and trauma, that is really, really saying something.
Anyhow, it's done now, and we can finally move on.
Move on to what, precisely, I'm not yet wholly sure.
I desperately need some kind of palate-cleanser after crawling through that horrible chapter, but I'm still not sure if switching tack and tone to write something else -- even a short little one-shot something else -- would be beneficial or detrimental. One of the big downsides, I suppose, of being neck-deep in the kind of WIP that requires constant attunement to a very specific setting and situation.
We shall see, I suppose.
Either way, May took me where I wanted -- to the completion of Part Two (out of what is still threatening to be five, oh boy) -- so I am going to call it a very, very hard-earned win.
I have a bunch more "questions for fic writers" that I saw on Tumblr somewhere, so I'll probably unwind with that over the next few posts... apologies in advance for the spam!
