Popping back and forth as I try to complete this week's edit. Whenever PBox Nick and I stumble over his feelings, I pause... So here I am again typing this reply off and on, lol.
Do the demons use their tails like whips to hit each other with? Cause I could see Nick and Brian doing that to each other a lot. LOL
You know, they don't, lol! Honestly, Nick and Brian probably don't play fight as much as they should. Like I said before, tails are boring, they're just kind of there doing nothing... or wagging while they sleep like puppies, lol.
It's cool to be the only one who's done something! Angels have definitely been done in fanfic, but not so much demons. Especially not lovable demons.
Yes, my vague "It's about demons, but they're the heroes" description usually surprises people, lol. You can't help but love them when they're the Boys; they're just too warm and fuzzy.
It's both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, how lucky that he can miraculously come back to life for the next installment... but on the other hand, how horrible to have to die over and over again in 1000 different painful and/or humiliating ways.
That's true, I guess it's not super fun if you're only coming back to life to die again! Now I feel bad adding to his misery, lol. Oh well, stab stab!
With the right story, maybe! You're on the end-of-story streak with this one, but if you continue on to the third installment, maybe you can keep that inspiration alive. Or maybe you'll move on to something totally different, which can be equally inspiring.
True! I think I'm getting ahead of myself, lol. The end of story streak is just a whirlwind though. It's been a while since I've been here.
Yeah, I'm trying not to just come up with filler for Nick. That's how BMS got to be so long - lots of filler to keep things balanced between Nick and Claire. I learned my lesson. But don't tempt me with the stabbing LOL. I actually don't think I've ever stabbed Nick in a story before... Brian, yes. Nick, no? Not that I can remember offhand, anyway.
Would you say more of Nick was the filler in that one or more of Claire? I can't remember. Okay, but there's a whole story about all the ways Nick can die, is a stabbing ever filler? lol Now that you mention it, I think the only one who hasn't gotten stabbed in PBox&Co is Brian! Maybe I should be stabbing Brian instead of Nick, lol.
Oh no! That's a long time you've been without a working washer. That's so frustrating. My washer broke last year right in the beginning of lockdown, and I didn't know what to do at first. I didn't really want to go to a laundrymat or an appliance store or have a repairman come over. So I did some googling and figured out it was just the belt that broke... and then I ordered a replacement belt for cheap and managed to fix it myself! Thanks, YouTube! I hope your part comes soon so you can get everything set up and working!
Yeah, for real - I feel like it takes me Friday night and most of Saturday to recover from the week, so I don't usually get into my writing groove until Sunday, and then the weekend's over before I know it. We really should have Mondays off.
I'm about to lose it, lol. This would be even worse if it was last year at the beginning of lockdown. I'm glad that yours was just a belt and easy to fix! And props to you for learning from a YouTube video! That's awesome! Oh actually, now that I think of it, our house flooded a little and we had to replace our flooring last year around this time. That was... fun. I basically hid upstairs every time the construction workers were here. It'll be next week. So another week and a half until I can do some laundry. Thankfully, a friend in our same community has been letting us borrow his washer in the meantime.
I feel like Saturdays were my groove days the past month. That's why Memorial Day was awesome. I got a groove Saturday and a groove Monday! I should just start taking random three day weekends here and there. You should do the same.
Yay!! So proud of you! I know the feeling; I am always most motivated on Sunday night when I need to go to bed. Ugh. I hope you wake up still inspired and are able to write before/after work tomorrow.
I actually did wake up inspired, but then remembered how long it took me to edit last week's chapter, so I opted to edit rather than write anything new. I finished the first scene and the second scene is much shorter, so it should go quick tomorrow. I have no idea what to Author Talk about this week though, lol.
One of my friends beta reading the OF version said she was really enjoying it so far, so that made me happy. Her only notes were asking me what some vocabulary was.
And that I can be repetitive sometimes, lol. I was like "Absolutely I ramble. Please tell me where I'm repeating myself!" Realistically, I probably have to cut PBox down by at least 80,000 words, so if I'm repeating myself, I just want to cut it.
