Writing some dialog about faith and having vivid flashbacks to a CCS fic I read at least 16 years ago. It started off really cool (by young me's standards) and then halfway through Syaoran converted to Christianity and tried to "save" all the other MCs from witchcraft/magic/the powers of Satan.

I beat a malfunctioning smoke detector to death today.
In completely, totally, 100% unrelated news, I can now barely hear out of my right ear, which really really hurts.

Draft 55 of Fires of War seems to be the winner, so far. (I hope I'm not jinxing myself.)

Something I miss about the last city I lived in was the Thai food places I went to knew better than to clock me as White when I ordered spicy food.
(Context: I have been given mild takeout and miss my favorite Thai food cart man. I miss his pumpkin curry so bad.)

I really hate that it takes a week to fix half a chapter layout for Fires of War and half a day to write a third of a chapter for Made of Marble.

I'm tired. I'm dead inside. I might need the joy of a new project to feel alive again. And I know that's the devil speaking, but god damn it, I'm in Hell and that's all the company I'll get down here.

I've been building too many castles in Sims lately, but I've also managed a few writing marathons. Hopefully I'll be able to post something soon.

My rabbit survived surgery, but it's up in the air whether or not I'll survive the bill. (i will. I'm just being dramatic.)

I'll be listening to Green Day for a while.
Once the 16th rolls around, might switch to The Mountain Goats.

Overtime hell at work. I just wanna take a week off and write. Why must capitalism stand between me and my sweet, sweet fanfic? (At least it pays the bills, which is more than I can say for my last few jobs.)

I've been informed that Fires of War is my boulder of Sisyphus, which makes me wonder what I've done to deserve such a fate.
