Sunday Snippets May 19th 2019
May. 19th, 2019 08:10 pmThis week was all editing, no writing anything new.
The Cap RBB fic is now basically whipped into shape. It means all the inconsistencies are sorted out, happily there was only minor stuff (along the lines of, do they actually sleep well in this specific case or not etc.), nothing major that would have needed a lot of work. Also the text is in much better shape now; the awkward phrases, repetitions and such have been taken care of. Mostly anyway. It'll still be read through at least a couple of times to catch the final bits and pieces, but most of the work is now done.
This was a funny process, for starters I had a more thorough outline than I usually do. I didn't follow it religiously, if one were to compare there would be changes, but not with anything major. The writing was relatively easy, and in the first edit I added less than a thousand words to the 25k I had, which is less than usual, in line with the fact there were no major oddities in the first draft. Now it's only the final cleanup left, and three weeks to go until posting date, so no stress whatsoever.
As I said, I didn't yet start writing the Endgame related thing, but I did start thinking more along the lines I'll need to when I do write it. Namely, up until last week I had been thinking of what the story I want to tell is, and this week in addition I started thinking how to tell that story. I started considering the POVs, the structure, the timeline etc. All things needed for the writing, which will now start whenever I have the time, again maybe next week.
