OMG! I just found the ending of the fifth and final Multimedia Bingo story and it's AMAZING! It is not at all the ending that I imagined it was going to be. In fact, none of this chapter is at all what I was imagining on my way home from Mom & Dad's house tonight. SafetySuit had me lulled into a more fluffy story but what I found was kind of raw and I hope it all comes across well because it laid me out when I was writing it. Man, I love this story! Now to send it to Aster to see if I caught all of my verb tense errors because what was I thinking writing in third person present? What is with me changing up my tenses lately? I blame reading fanfic because there is a surprising amount written in present but I mostly write in past.
My BIL had a breakdown this weekend and I had to deal with some of it. I'm the big sister, you see. He's much more emotional than any of our family but I think that's something we love about him. He's not afraid to show emotion. He's good for us. It was a horrid reminder of four years ago and the meltdown that Other Sister had that I had to deal with. I seem to have that knack for being able to talk irrational people down. Strange, since I'm the most irrational person in my family. I guess that's my job. Still, it's rather draining. I wasn't going to write tonight because I've spent all day with people and was rather talkative for a Sunday evening and the Super Bowl and the whole thing. When I came home, I popped in The Matrix because I've never seen it and B let me borrow it and I figured I should watch it quickly so it doesn't get mixed in with my mass of DVDs that need to be reorganized AGAIN. But, when it was over, I just started writing and POOF, 2000+ words later, I'm ready for bed and I'm going to pay for this late night tomorrow.
