edenfallingThings done since my last post:
1. Wrote ~320 words of the Narnia/Naruto crossover. It's amazing how writing one particular conversation is giving me such a clear picture of what I need to go back and retroactively add into previous scenes! (No really, this is very cool because I knew there was a weak point but it's damnably hard to pinpoint the precise shape of the structural weakness until you hit the part where your narrative needs that support to function, whereupon the way it fails tells you exactly what you need to go back and fix. You still have to figure out where and how to apply the changes, which is a kettle of fish all on its own, but by gum you know what the changes must be!)
2. Quick grocery run to buy broccoli, more crackers, eggs (because I anticipate some stress baking), some Windex, and some hard cider. Alas, there were no paper towels in the store. I did snag some napkins, though, so I can switch to using actual napkins as napkins (and for wiping up minor kitchen splotches) and save the paper towels for serious cleaning.
3. Board of Trustees Zoom meeting 7pm-8:15ish. This was a little bit of a check-in and a little bit of a planning session. We are all doing okay, we agreed on a couple Things To Do, and we've agreed to do this again next Wednesday. My laptop's camera is still busted, apparently, but I think that was okay because it meant I could eat dinner (my delicious homemade bean soup!) without worrying about looking gross in public.
4. This is actual a thing I did earlier in the day but forgot to mention in the previous post. I have finished crossposting all my Three Sentence Ficathon fills to AO3! \o/ ...Now I just need to add the AO3 links here on my journal, and then copypaste the journal URLs into my table of contents document so I can start getting everything sorted into my directory pages. *flops onto keyboard* I mean, I know exactly why I do this to myself -- I like organization, goshdarnit, and I also really enjoy writing three-sentence ficlets -- but some days I wonder whether I should just chuck in the towel and let AO3 handle everything for me. *sigh*
5. Called my parents to make sure they're doing okay. They are, thank goodness. Dad reports that he's still going in to PT twice a week (he mucked up his foot a few months back) but now not only are the staff all wearing masks and gowns and gloves, they are making all patients wear masks as well.
And now I am off to bed because whatever I end up deciding in re: Saturday cleaning work, I think I'm going to go with a 9am-5pm schedule for my weekday shifts at the rental office.

Date: 2020-03-26 04:28 pm (UTC)In this particular case I knew the weakness was a character motivation issue, but I couldn't figure out what would be right so I kind of handwaved it as close as I could at the time and figured it would come clear at the emotional climax. Which it has, and I am duly pleased at now knowing how to fix the problem. :)
