Ugh, I don't feel social at all right now. [/backdate backdate backdate]
I've been feeling a lot of minor aches and pains in the last couple of weeks. Can't pinpoint the cause. It's probably just because of a lot of minor incidental stuff I've been doing (carrying too much stuff in my messenger bag, sitting wrong at work, typing up long things on a laptop not positioned ideally for it....) But it really is frustrating. I miss when I didn't have to deal with that. Dunno if I'm just getting old or what, but it's annoying. I'm not that old, damn it!
It's been a little bit difficult lately for me to get basic things done. Like, I manage to get the main necessities done, but anything extra kind of... slips. I think it might be partly because of the pain issues I mentioned, and also partly because I've been feeling low-energy in general. It's... really annoying. :( I keep starting things and then fizzling out because I'm just so tired.
And I'm sick of falling asleep on the commute. I want to read my book, not doze off!
... Anyway.
This evening, worked a little on the draft for Solo's request fic. That was nice. This thing is threatening to turn into a full-length fic, albeit in a slightly pretentious format/style. Hopefully she will find it worth the wait. She requested something about one of the prologue characters - Árni - and I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to writing him, but it's fun. He's turning out a liiiiittle bit too much like Reynir, I think, but then again, I suppose I can just excuse that as family resemblance. Aaaand also this thing has a lot of OCs in it, but then again it's the only way I could figure out to make the prompt work, so. I think it will turn out okay in the end, though this draft is going to need a lot of editing before I post it.
It's too bad we don't know more about Árni's personal relations. But, at least his part of the prologue is pretty dramatic. Then again I have so many ~feelings~ about the prologue characters in general, I suppose it makes sense that I'd want more. (On the other hand, I like that we only get the snips - it gives so much freedom for imagination. And of course, their story isn't the main story, anyway. I still love the way it rolled out; it's so... coherent, even though it's snapshots.)
