I am taking a small moment to be proud of myself for not copping out on my after-work workout today when it turned out there was someone else already using the downstairs gym. I fought off any number of readily-available excuses to skip, sucked up the social phobia, went in, said hi (!!! I spoke, even!), and did my thing anyway. Overdid it, perhaps, if the jelly-like state of my legs is any indication.
A small victory. But a victory nonetheless.
Victory on a different field would be that I have managed, I think, to finish drafting a 'quick' crack-piece that I began back in August. I un-stalled it Sunday, and it now reads start to finish. Or start to petering-off point, anyway. The ending is not very strong. And the rest of it reads very...stilted, to my mental ear. Humor is not among my greatest strengths. I think it needs a lot of work yet and some painstaking attention to characterization before it's even close to ready for beta. But still, to have a full draft done is something of an Accomplishment with me. ^_^;
Elsewise. Kenren fans, especially those of the GouKenTen-and/or-any-pairing-therein persuasion: There is fresh talent among the ranks. If she's not already crossed your path, go take a look at what
teru_bozu_ebi's been writing. It's good stuff. IMHO.
People who've took sick of late: Feel better. Virtual soup from me to you. May your weather be warmer and kinder than mine.
