NaNo Days 1 & 2

This is the very roughest cut of my writing as it was done quickly, on very little sleep, and after work when my brain isn't always the sharpest. So far I have succeeded in writing "a story" every day which is sort of my plan. I had intended to jump around in my mind's plot but these two stories go together. In fact, they are sort of a prologue and opening chapter to the whole thing. This is only a tiny taste of what I have in my head as I still haven't worked the dynamics of magic into the narrative yet.

Have I told you here how super excited I am about this plot? I gush all the time at work, especially after a night where good ideas have slipped onto my paper, sometimes almost by accident. This world is a lot darker than it was initially. It's a tad more steampunkish than just turn-of-the-century, although the world is actually post-apocalyptic in a way that I haven't completely sketched out yet.

My writing music as been the most beautiful album! A History of Scotland performed by BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. There are a couple of tracks on YouTube but I found it on Spotify and it's been on repeat ever since. I even turned it on this morning before I fully awoke and let it run while I went back to sleep. It's can't hurt now that it's in my subconscious!!!

Something interesting... just a hmmm...

I think that the Avengers community (in general) and B_C (specifically) has finally broken me of my shyness online. I've been a commenting fool lately! I only just now realized it when I didn't think twice about commenting somewhere I've always been shy about. Not that it wasn't a very cool place but because I was just shy girl. You know? Like I hadn't realized that those people are real people just like me. And now, I don't give it another thought.

So... thank you, Avengers community. Thank you for finally breaking through that last barrier and making me feel loved enough to share my love back. Thank you for healing some of those old fandom wounds and giving me the opportunity to trust again.

And now for something funny
