I was highly successful today. While Mum was taking her early afternoon nap I managed to rewrite the "Jack interrogates Ethan" scene, working in the canon facts about the Camouflage Beasts and dropping very faint hints that Jack might be familiar with the creatures. I hope I'll be able to type it up tomorrow, so that I can offer a snippet for your investigation — I'd be interested in what people think.
In any case, that was almost two pages today, so I'm well pleased. It was laundry day, after all, which is always time- and energy-consuming.
No words (yet), but I've caught up with some of the photos that I've taken but not posted to FB while I haven't been well, which is sort of vaguely similar
I got so thoroughly pissed off with a fanfic I was reading (it was supposed to be about a character I liked but dragged in and praised to the skies a fandom fan that I find very very annoying), so promptly wrote 3/4 of a page of very very grumpy/bitchy wordage about him. I definitely can't post it anywhere but boy was it fun and I'm keeping it in case I do at any stage need a semi-Dickensian, hatchet-faced and lizard-lipped, creepy crawly semi-villain.... to kill off :)
Creating a character based on someone you've got a problem with and then killing them off can be very therapeutic. I've managed to forgive someone after years — but it took the grisly death of a character based on him. *g*
I have a habit (thankfully not too regular but still) of taking a dislike to a character a sizeable (or at least loud, going waaaay back to Blake's 7 and the Tarrant Nostra) part of the fandom is in love with, and then spend my time in the fandom avoiding them. I mean, messily killing Stargate's Sam Carter was fun, but got you less than fun comments on the archives.
I don't hate this one in The Untamed, which is a nice change, he's quite interesting as a character in a shabby-virtues/shabby-vices sort of way, but the way he's whitewashed and woobified because he's pretty and cries a lot really annoys the heck out of me. Which made the wordage panning him very therapeutic, though I tried to be fair and accurate (because fair and accurate is Good Practice).
