That was, again, my blog post and working on You Can’t Fight Destiny. I gave myself mood whiplash with that thing. Some of the things going through Josh’s head were hilarious, but every time Hayley opened her mouth, I burst into tears. That girl was just breaking my heart. But, eventually got her out of there and to the art show. Where Elijah was flirting and adorable. And writing this scene in his POV means I don’t have to deal with Hayley worrying about what happens tomorrow. I can totally sidestep the angst and focus on the cuteness. Part of today’s project on that is deciding if I want to lead this conversation back to the one they had on the show – which was pretty cute – and if so, how to do that. Ended up diverging a bit because I needed Elijah to flirt with her and be adorable.
Also did some reading in my outlining book. Have reached the part about deciding if you want to use a storyteller. And now I’m toying with the idea of making the entire series a history account told by Aruca. I need to think on that some more, though. It could be interesting. And I kind of love the idea of hinting from the beginning that even Nicolaus doesn’t know everything. I keep coming up with all kinds of interesting ideas, but so far, nothing that will give me an actual scene-by-scene outline. Dear Gods, I hate outlining.
Anyway… step count yesterday was 2,259. I always do horrible on that on my days off. Need to figure out ways to up that. Did really good on my calorie budget, though.
Finished catching up on the fanfic I was reading. Caught something amazing in the last chapter that I didn’t catch the first time reading it. Ended up flailing on Twitter with the author about it. So, that was fun.
Cleaning and schoolwork still not happening. I’ll get some cleaning done this weekend. Monday, I intend to restart the last lesson I started in my schoolwork. I’m technically to the quiz, but I totally don’t quite understand this, so I think I need a refresher.
