hexmixbeen busy today; out running errands for most of it. decided to finally chop off around 5 inches of hair bc it's too damn hot. also spent a little time tonight trying to work on the fic i'm doing for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
wipbigbang and am happy with the progress i made. it was all outlining but it was pretty necessary & will likely make my life easier going forward.
picked a fic i originally started writing around 2017, and it's one that, every time i come back to it, i still find really engaging. past me even left notes for once (!!!!) so i'm going into it with a much more solid idea of what i initially intended.
did fight with myself a little about the ending tho. it's one of those things where i feel like it'd be more narratively satisfying to go with a downer ending/bad end, but i simultaneously get too sad thinking about it lmao. i was having this problem with a wintersberg fic i've got plotted out too, but with that one i just decided i'd write two endings: the one i originally intended which is more narratively satisfying, and then a second one that isn't fucking horrible. could upload each as a diff chapter after the point of divergence. don't think i want to do that with this one tho.
i do think i managed to come up with something that will work for the narrative & themes without also being soul-crushing; will just need to get it written and see how it feels. was hoping i'd have a chance to actually write today too but bc i was doing the usual detailed outline thing it took uhhh...A While. at least i have like all of the dialogue for the rest of the fic now lol.
anyway, i am excited about working on it some more! liiiitle bit worried about getting anything substantial done before snippets are due, but i also have 5k+ words written already, so it's not like i'll be without something to submit, just wanted to be able to include more dynamic scenes :/
also!!! have an idea for a short (for me anyway, which isn't saying much) fic i want to do for nivansfield week. just gonna say i was going thru some The Shape of Water screenshots for icons for the recent monthlyinspo theme and felt Inspired. fingers crossed i'm actually able to write this week lol.
