edenfalling: golden flaming chalice in a double circle (gold chalice)
[personal profile] edenfalling
I opened the file for ch. 14 of "The Guardian in Spite of Herself" and realized why I'd stalled out where I had -- I've already written the relatively easy Naga and Sasuke scenes, and the next scene up is Eiji, Ginji, and Tetsuko talking about the details of Eiji's plan, complete with discussion of the ninja village system, international politics, their own fraught family history, and so on. Complicated. Also, I'd kind of forgotten how to write the three of them. *headdesk*

So I have been rereading the story from Eiji's introduction in ch. 4 to reacquaint myself with my own characters. This has derailed slightly into minor revisions as I notice niggling little discrepancies from chapter to chapter -- things like Tetsuko saying she'll have some itineraries ready in two days, and then next chapter, "true to her word," having them ready in one day. Argh. (I've fixed that one, incidentally.) So this is going slowly.

On the plus side, I'm pretty sure I remember how to write the Amane family now. :-)

The teacher appreciation dinner was nice. It's always good to get out of my apartment and talk to people, even though walking to and from church in the dark and the cold was not precisely my idea of fun. *wry*
