Progress is as Progress Does ...
Or something equally as bizarre, I guess. I'm no good at making up cool sayings. >.O
I have made a tad bit of progress, writing-wise. Sadly, not original fiction, but, hey, writing is writing, right? Yeah ... this is what I'm telling myself.
A couple of days ago, I hammered out a short-ish one shot for WK. Another story set in the "Ground Zero" arc, and, oddly enough, what will probably be the ending for that particular series of stories. It's weird for me to jump so far ahead in a series. I'm so far away from where I need to be to bring everything to a resolution. There are things that will (hopefully) happen in the upcoming fics, but, so far, none of that has actually happened. As in, none of it is down on paper yet. It's all still in my head in this sort of unformed mass of ... well, stuff. I have a vague idea of, "I want "event x" to happen around this point in the series. Then, "event y" needs to happen somewhere along here." You know, like that. So, events are referenced in the final story, even though I don't know if things will work out exactly as I have planned. (Or half-planned, as it were.) The story is liable to need a LOT of editing because of that. Plus, I'll have to go through the series carefully with respect to time. I have this almost pathological fear of timelines. I almost never reference them directly, but I have to make the action and events believable to the readers along a certain timeline. So there's that to contend with, on top of everything else.
Still, the idea for the final story came at me with a vengeance. I even had a good working title in mind as well as the general idea of how I wanted everything to turn out for the boys. And an idea of how I wanted them to get to that point. So I decided to run with it. I figured I could get the bones of the story down, at least, and edit later if I needed to. We'll see how that works out in practice.
Today I started on story #3 in the GZ-verse. It centers mainly on Aya and Ken, so I expect it'll be a difficult fic for me to write. I do not feel I have a good handle on Ken's character. I always worry a lot when writing him -- and, yeah, it tends to be slow going. Still, writing is writing, right?
As for the original fiction, I'm telling myself it'll happen when the timing is right. I hope this is true. *crosses fingers*
