Writing habits

[mhalachai]

So my pattern seems to be, write write write when I post a new story, then let it slide a bit. Not concious at all, I swear. The next chapter of Candlelight is mostly done, but I need to run it through the Buffy filter tomorrow (aka: Is this Buffy's thoughts?). I also need to make a flowchart as to how the various parts of my Mind the Gap saga mesh together. Because technically, the parts I've written for Candelight and the Me in Team take place before the next chapter of Mind the Gap.

Inevitable... I'm trying to write a Jason and Harry and vampire scene, and it's hard. Trying to make Harry into the honourable one is hard, because Harry's never had to defend a lady's honour before. And trying to describe the Circus always makes my head ache. And then comes the Anita/Richard/JC scene in which Richard finds out his pack has been keeping things from him. *ominous music*

Masks: Done. Over. Finished. The only other thing Kindred the Embraced on my mind these days is a FFA entry idea or two.

Any Given Tuesday: Maybe with my new and improved work schedule, I can get more productive use out of my day. I think part of the problem is I'm wacko convinced I'm under a deadline for Inevitable, of July 15. And with the length Inevitable will probably be... Must remember that this is all for fun. Must remember...

Does Harry need to be honorable? He's never had to defend a lady's honor before. Doesn't that mean he's more likely to react a step or two behind? That when he realizes what he should be doing, someone else is already starting to do it? (Or is he protecting the lady from Jason???) Can't wait for the next chapter.

The way I see it, Harry's so very Griffindor at heart that he'd jump in full throttle and might midread the situation. So far in the books, we haven't seen him have to defend a female schoolmate against sexual innuendo, but he jumps in on everything else, right? It's not too big a stretch to think he'd keep on doing that in St. Louis.

I think it's something he'd just do, without thinking, and get himself in a bit of a muddle. But so very Harry.

Of course, it's only going to generate conversation and a bit of chatacter turmoil. No fisticuffs on the floor of the Circus :P

Now that, I'd totally believe. I think he could easily misread something, particularly in sexual situations, since while we've seen Harry becoming interested in girls, he's also dealing with life or death situations, which puts a bit of a damper on dating. He hasn't really seen healthy relationships. Definitely can't wait to read it!

He hasn't really seen healthy relationships.

If that isn't the understatment of the century, I don't know what is. There was the disaster that was Cho, Ginny having that crush on him... Poor boy.
