lallis_follyMy Yuletide piece is Not Going Well. I have an idea, but I can't find my way into it. (Well, I have two ideas, but I can't find my way into the other one, either, not with the characters/pairings that were requested.) I've tried to start it and failed a few times. The other day, I decided to NaNo it -- just sit down and type. I ended up with about 500 words of utter garbage, but it's a start, and maybe it'll get better.
Maybe I chose the wrong viewpoint character. Maybe it's the tense; I'm writing in present tense, which always seems gloom-and-doomy to me -- at least when I write it -- but normal past tense wasn't working, either.
Anyway. It's a three-day weekend. I spent yesterday basically goofing off, so today and tomorrow, I need to bash my head against this thing until I either knock myself out or get a story out of it.
