the mashup

OK, I admit it - writing this fic (the followup to Ritual 56) is really challenging. (Really, I'm just having a hard time concentrating on anything, but that's beside the point.)
I'm realizing that a big part of the difficulty for me is that I've spent so much time focusing exclusively on the thought patterns and experiences of Nathan and Peter, and now I have to integrate the thought patterns of Sylar with Nathan's experiences, and keep them in balance.

I can totally do this, but I think it's time for Yet Another Rewatch, this time of the Sylar highlights. Of which, IMHO, there are many throughout the three seasons. I have to refresh myself on his voice, on his style of reaction, and above all, on the way that he interacts with Peter and with people who feel compassion or desire for him. And all the while, keeping in mind all of his current abilities, of which there are about twenty billion - only one of which he knows that he has. I really hope to have fun with that; how can I not?

It's OK. It's fun. I just need to be able to relax and stretch out, and spend some time writing. It'll be good for me in a variety of ways. I'm scuttling all of my vague weekend plans, as I think I'm having some kind of illness (a good friend had the same symptoms as I'm having right now, and whatever it is proceeded to knock her flat on her ass for two whole days) and concentrating on reading (for my job), TV-ing (big challenge; two series on the table, and if I do the right thing and rewatch some Heroes, that makes three), sleep, and... oh yeah, writing. :)

status report, writing checks my butt can't cash, rewatch
