edenfalling1. I came down with a cold Sunday night and have been attempting (with mixed success) to sleep it off. Ugh. I guess I should be grateful there was a 2-for-1 deal on Ocean Spray juice at my grocery store last weekend: cranberry pomegranate for the win?
2. In other news, I read all the comics and extras (but only some of the tweets) for Check, Please! over the past two days, and I still don't care two beans about hockey or baking but gosh, that's awfully cute. :)
3. In other other news, "Guardian" ch. 17 scene 3 is being difficult and I have made no word-count progress. First I came to the annoying realization that I'd done my logistical setup all wrong, mostly because I'd been thinking of what would create a certain effect instead of what would actually be logical given the goals of two specific sets of people. So I had to rearrange some people/props in scene 2 (this took all of, I think, three tweaked sentences, because I hadn't been especially detailed to start with). Then I started thinking, but do I even really need a big dramatic scene here? Wouldn't Yukiko actually focus on [small specific goal] and largely ignore [other things]? And I mustn't forget that she has [strong view] on [subject], which will doubtless affect her attitude toward [certain people].
And...
And I should really write these complaints out more often because I think I just solved my own problem. Yukiko can indeed ignore [other things] and focus on [small goal], but because of the way I left Sasuke, that will do quite nicely for producing conflict and such. And also probably her tunnel vision between the start of the scene and reaching Sasuke will disturb Naruto more than if she'd made a big deal of [other things]. Yes. Good. I like moral distress. *evil grin*
