On the subject of Stardust.
So I don't know what happened or when or why, but. Stardust went from a bit of a not-passion to quite fun again. Maybe it's because I've more or less given up writing Berserk right now, or what -I don't know how other people do that; writing several stories at once; I for one have learned that I shouldn't be doing it- but suddenly I have ideas again, for things that need to happen, how things will go, stuff that I need to show or scenes that I need for the sake of pacing. Stuff like that. I'm, dare I say it, excited about it.
One thing that I've found and that I'm quite happy about is that my sex-scene writing has, in fact, improved through practice. I can't tell if the quality is better, but it's definitely coming more easily now, so at the very least it's the same output in less time. If that's not improvement, I don't know what is.
The other crazy thing is that in the last ten days I've apparently written over 7000 words for Stardust- some of it notes, but most of it straight-up prose. And I'm doing this "90k words in 90 days" thing (search the NaNo forums if you're interested), so I was hoping my WIPs would benefit from that, but it's still cool and crazy to see it actually happen. :D
That said. I have an almost-ready chapter, and I could post a staggering mere ten days after the last update, but. The sex scene is currently a string of unrelated sentence fragments. Some things never change. >.>
