Fine... I'll stay on my own thing.

Reviving and finishing lots of things is a good feeling. And it's nice to see other hopeful stories of slump return.
Aww. Now my bingo card with "bears" and "gun shots" on it is useless. :(
(Maybe that's how we revive binog. We all read a story and try to get Backstreet Trope Binog!)

It is a good feeling! And yes, hopefully it will give others who are in a slump some hope of making a comeback and finishing some long-term projects.
LOL I love the idea of Backstreet Trope Binog!

Did you feel like more of your set POV events were in the beginning, in the middle, or in the end?

Very true.
Scene POVs were more set in stone in the beginning because Kevin and Nick were not in the same place at the start of the story, so their scenes were separate, and Kevin was also unconscious for some of it, which is why I needed Nick to narrate what was happening. Now they're physically in the same space, so I have more flexibility with that.

I am very disappointed about the Boys cancelling their Christmas shows and postponing the album release, but trying to look on the bright side. Here are a couple of small writing celebrations I had this week:
1. I thought of a title for my MBK sequel idea, which means it's that much closer to becoming a reality. We all know I can't start writing a story without a title I like, so I'm at least over that hurdle.
2. I got a random comment on Return of the Pandaskunk on AO3 today - my first for that story!
Anyone else have anything positive to share?
mare:
I’m sorry about the cancellations, but the AO3 thing is awesome. Getting random feedback on something old is awesome. Especially when it’s the first!
RokofAges75:
Thanks! It is a good feeling!
Today's bit of positivity is that I checked my spam folder and found another piece of feedback in there that was an actual comment from a real reader for My Brother's Keeper and not spam! I love when that happens; it's like finding a $20 in your pocket!

I'm sending good vibes out into the universe!
I'm pondering possible tropes now. I bet there's a bingo card generator online somewhere.

Darn Kevin for being unconscious and unable to narrate! lol Do you think it's more fun or less fun to have more flexibility?
