(no subject)
Good morning! Well, it's morning anyway.
The house has no water.
I swear my first thought was "omg, there better be internet." It's nice to occasionally re-assess your priorities as you traipse along the daisy trail of life.
On a more positive note, I knocked out about 3.5 pages of KakaSaku Project yesterday. Yay! I also stayed up until 5am doing it. I was gonna say "more on that later", but who am I kidding...
Naruto1: KakaSaku Project
So chapter 9 is done. The title is "Iruka Kakashi Sakura’s Croissant, Touching, and If Conversations Could Kill". All of the titles have the format A, B, and C except 6 and 7 which are... Actually, I should write them out here. I need to see them listed.
- Scarred Grass, Scarred Children, and Sakura’s Old Friends
- Medicine, the Truth, and Kakashi’s Useless Tongue
- Cravings, In with the Old, and Omg, Sasuke! You’re so Dreaaaamy!
- Shikamaru Strips, Kakashi Uses His Tongue, and Panic
- Happy Genjutsus, Playing with Fire, and Sakura’s Limit
- The Devil On My Shoulder: Kakashi
- The Devil On My Shoulder: Sakura
- Inuzuka Hana, Uchiha Sasuke, and Hatake Kakashi
- Iruka Kakashi Sakura’s Croissant, Touching, and If Conversations Could Kill
Looking at them, I think ch. 5's title needs to be redone. I don't like "Sakura's limit." Its referring to when she gets angry with Kakashi because he's inadvertantly messing with her head, but I don't know that it reached any limits. Ch. 9's title has "touching" in it, which is weird. I wonder why I named it that. Oh, cuz Sakura touches Kakashi. (Shrug) Eh. That'll have to be redone, too.
The story itself is getting to be a weird mix of my typical frolic and my typical angst. It's like they're all happy one moment and cursing life the next. I wonder if it’s the characters that are just steering the story that way, or if, just by property of being a really long-ass story it's more telling of my style. I'm not bipolar, I swear, even if my stories read like they are.
So why was I up ‘til 5am? Well, I went to bed at 11:30 having finished a light and cheery chapter 8, but it was not meant to be. Sasuke’s conversation with Danzo kept swimming through my head. I saw visions of dark basements and evil people plotting. I really fought the urge to give Danzo Dora-chan’s white-furred cousin to stroke. Maybe I should write crack. Maybe I will. (Eh, probably not). So I got up and kept writing. Thank goodness I’m on break.
Oh look, the water’s back on. Maybe a pipe froze.
So anyway, I’m happy its finally getting some semblance of a plot. I was trying to avoid being too obvious about it from the starts, dropping hints as I go along, but in the end, it might prove to be more confusing than anything else so I just put the cards on the table in ch. 9. Not to say there won’t be a twist or something, but I’m starting to get pretty paranoid that the story is really confusing and too complicated for happy-fun-fanfic-time. Well, if that’s the case, I just won’t publish it. Or I’ll publish it and let the cards fall as they may.
So tired...
Here's a random closing thought... Why is there not more Shikaku? The man is unbelieeeevably hot!! If you're cannon, why not write more about him and Yoshino's first hook-up or if you're a little more adventurous, stick him in sexy soup with Kakashi and/or Azuma?
Aw, man!! Now I have to go take a cold shower...
What I’m proud of today: “To call him a woman is a little harsh don’t you think? Even giving his persuasion...” and moving the croissant around. I rocked that one.
