A scene from the evil chapter 12. Which nobody, including me, can figure out how the hell to get onto paper. Cut the artist some slack, that's not what I look like, but somebody can't paint faces.
I didn't know she was going to try and cross the wall. :/
You're right again, I was being a hypocrite. Maybe she can come back. It's just I have this habit of slipping into emo arguments, and when I do that, work doesn't get done on the book. I don't want to bleed off this energy here if I could channel it into telling a compelling story.
And Fiona doesn't seem to have any discretion. I was reading a writing newsletter the other day which said something like "Write what you're afraid to write, because those are the things worth saying." And I'm not really afraid to write on here. I'm concerned that I'm just distracting myself from planting my butt in the chair and doing the real work.
Then go write because I'm curious and I wanna see your story! I don't know anything of what happens to Fiona!
But... Gah, maybe that doesn't work, either. With what Fiona said about you not being able to tell the story. Can I just ask you direct what the problem is? Like, why did you want Fiona to talk if you think it might distract you? I mean, you and her are obviously having problems, I just don't feel like I know all of what's going on.
...Speaking of bleeding off energy, well, this is kinda changing the subject a lot but I might as well tell it to you. Yesterday I got stuck in Yonjuunana's head for a while and couldn't get back to my world. And it fucking sucked. So... There's still a lot of stuff I want to get done, but in a few days I might be going on vacation for like a week. Stay out of the Dreaming and just do my own thing for a while. We think it'd be good for me. Well, I think I might go a little crazy with less people to talk to, but... *shrugs* Yeah, I should do it. Just for a week. I'll let you know before I go.
I can understand getting out of here for a week. Maybe it'll be good for me too. I really didn't intend to get into all this inner child crap. If it weren't for being kind of - pledged - to keep going forward, I'd take an excuse to drop out for a while too.
I'm working on writing. I got a little bit done last night and I have to go at it again tonight. I will get the story to you ASAP.
