yuuagoVery tired. Work is busy. Tomorrow is off; looking forward to that.
Most of the snow has melted, but it still isn't quite spring. The ice on the river hasn't broken yet. And I think there will still be a good bit of snow deep in the woods. I should go look tomorrow.
I'm glad that even if it isn't spring, we have light. It's nice to have a bit of light out when I'm walking to work. It's just so hard to get energetic about anything when the sun doesn't rise until 9 or 10AM, you know? So I'm glad that part of the year is over for now.
Have some NiF poetry in the drafts; hopefully will get one or two finished this weekend. There are two with LC that were challenging, and I kept wondering if I should splice them together or something, but I think I have it figured out now. That is, they both had to be cut down a bit. That always kills me, because usually I have to remove a line that I really like; sometimes it just doesn't work with the rest of the piece. But sometimes, you can separate it and build something else around it, so that's all right.
Other times, I end up writing five different variations of the same thing, and none of them feel quite right. With this one, there's a particular idea that I want to illustrate, but I haven't found the right way to hammer it out yet.
There is another thing I'm working on, one with MZ x MCS, and it's given me so much trouble - gone through four major rewrites and it's still not right. I think I need to remove a set of lines, maybe as many as 5 lines. MZ is hard for me to get right; he's a different sort of character from the kind I usually write, so he's challenging. (Maybe I should rewatch some of his scenes again. Oh no, what hardship.) There is another poem I want to start - same pairing; Tik gave me the seed of an idea for it but I need to think about it some more.
It's just, it's such a rare pairing, and it's one of Tik's favourites (maybe even her top favourite? I'm not sure). She loves MZ so much; she adores him. (I ADORE HIM TOO but she loves him more than I do. Like, really a lot.) So, I want to write her all the things. So many things. I wish I could draw things for her, too.
We were also talking about MZ x LC the other day, and now I'm thinking, haha, maybe I should try writing that one too. WHY NOT. (Need to find a base to slap some lines on first, but. You know.)
I kind of want to fill my genprompt bingo card* with all NiF poetry. The three I've managed to finish already were all NiF, and all poetry, so - WHY NOT try for a completely Nirvana in Fire blackout, really.
But, writing will have to wait for a different day. I'm totally beat. Weekend will be writing, and errands, and then a driving lesson on Saturday - hopefully the last one before the test.
For the moment: tea. And finishing a good book. Maybe going for a run a little bit later, or maybe watching a movie. Either way, I'm going to have to go to bed at a reasonable hour, considering how worn-down I feel. Ugh.
