writing!
I really need to get back into writing actual stories, especially since they're not a few that I do actually want to work on, but haven't quite gotten up the motivation to really sit down and start typing. But, my carpal tunnel syndrome is acting up again, and once again I have to use voice recognition software for a while. Which is nice in some ways, actually. There is a certain effortlessness to typing this way, though it's not terribly good for my voice, and the software sometimes have a hard time understanding certain things.
The other day an idea popped into my head for a story about two characters with the power to freely and precisely travel through time. In my head what happened was both of them got so much into the habit of setting things up in the past to give them an advantage in the present that the first day they met became an epic confrontation with each of them bringing a dozen or more instances of themselves from different points in time. The stress of all this on the fabric of the space-time continuum started to tear the universe apart, until the heroine of the story went back in time to her own childhood and arrange things so that she and her rival had been longtime friends. ("You changed my past! You changed who I am!" "You didn't give me much choice. And I made you a better person." "That's the worst part!") And that's why time travel stories usually have more limitations built into the method of time travel. I may have to write that as a short story though...
But what I really need to do is get back into working on my three unfinished novels (Nekomimi Land, UFO Girl, and Slime Story), not to mention scripts for Neko Machi.
