I always miss the really obvious stuff.

So I do think I've recovered from the latest crippling bout of self-doubt, mostly.

Those of you who know me know that I procrastinate like hell. Not because I'm averse to doing work, but because I'm a perfectionist to the highest degree, and the task of sitting down/standing up/assuming whatever position is necessary and working on something

YOU GO FOR IT PUEL! I may suck at following this advice myself but just writing something, even if it's crap, is awesome. And sometimes you've got to push through the block to get to something really good and juicy. But basically just keep on rocking it out. I think your stuff is awesome. ♥

AND I SEE YOU ARE WATCHING TUTU (llamrei will be pleased) I APPROVE OF THE WATCHING OF TUTU. :D)

*hugs* You are such a sweetheart, have I mentioned that lately? But you're right, I think I just need to push through it and stop worrying about not being good enough -- and writing again and again and again will hopefully make the act of writing more habitual for me, something that I can do without worrying about the quality of what I'm producing.

She should be pleased, she sent me the DVDs because she is SO AWESOME LIKE THAT. AWESOME LIKE THE SHOW IS AWESOME. EXCEPT MORE AWESOME BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY EXISTS.

aslkdjf you haven't but thank you ♥ But yes, just get in the habit of it, that way when inspiration strikes you're ready for it. And the editing process is separate from the drafting and writing process for a reason! Just put the ideas out there and decide later if they're good or not.

SHE IS THE MOST AWESOME. And also existing, I am very happy that she exists. :D HOW FAR HAVE YOU GOTTEN IN THE SERIES THOUGH?

I have a bad habit of editing-as-I-write -- I go back and edit later, too, but doing that is almost hard sometimes because I've labored over what I wanted to say so much already. Not that a certain amount of line-editing can't be helpful, but I think I'm getting trapped by it.

Finished the first season! I adore Ahiru to ridiculous extremes oh gosh she is so damn cute without being saccharine, which...I do not find often enough in anime. (Also man does she have great chemistry with Fakir. *cough*) But show! I love show! Is so brilliantly constructed, and the attention to continuity is beauuuuuuuutiful.

Well at least you know that you've got the editorial skills! Just sort of. Push that little voice to the side. Tell it "Thank you kindly, but shut up. I'll let you have your say when it's done." ♥ conquer your inner editor puel! Fight the power from within!

Ahiru is so precious! Her development throughout the series is also phenomenal, I really love the arc of her characters and how much she grows. (And huhuhu yes, the chemistry is excellent. Wait until you get to the end of second season) I also love the little snippets and hints they leave early on that become more important later. And just. The way the world is crafted with Neko-sensei and all the amazing side characters and eeee.
