So I've had a bit of trouble finding both time and direction with my current fic project (Five Minutes to Midnight, sequel to Into the Dark). I wrote a bit the day before yesterday and then realized Jane said something reeeeeeally mean to Sara and even though it was a good line it was totally ill-fitting; she's got no reason to be mean and it creates oodles of problems that I don't want (line was "No offense, Sara, but as far as I’m aware the only part you’ve ever played in a prison break is opening a few doors"). So, I stepped away and thought about it for a bit. Gonna cut that bit and give her a snarky but not unkind line toward Linc instead. Essentially, this part is being super difficult to write because there's so many critical details about where the story is going (not giving anything away to let you all know that they're planning a rescue mission at this point, I think. And... I am not Michael Scofield, so planning a prison break like that does not come naturally to me. Maybe I need a tattoo?).  But, as I've reminded myself lately, the only direction I need when writing is forward. If it doesn't work, cut it. But don't intimidate yourself and hem and haw about problems without doing any writing. This is where I generally fail on longer fics. I'm determined that won't happen this time. DETERMINED.

Likewise, I'm behind on my 100 Things posts and replying to some comments/feedback. Oops! Will def get to the replies today and get some writing done here shortly, but IDK if I'll get my 100 Things post done today. Those take way longer than I'd anticipated because I keep wanting to list older fics and I remember that I loved them but not why so then I end up rereading them and.... there goes an hour or three.

TL;DR - Have been bad about writing/replying. YAY NAPTIME. *Goes to do both*
