Requisite paper-writing procrastination post, GO:

ASNAWOH seems to finally be cooperating. Ch. 1 received a scene rewrite and Ch. 2 had lots of little changes throughout the whole (over 8000 words) thing that completely changed the tone and flipped an entire relationship without any of the dialogue actually changing. Ch. 4 is finished, at least in rough form! Exciting! I have through Ch. 7 plotted, and oh my god this fic is long and nobody is going to read it. SO EXCELLENT.

On the note of fic, though, and aforementioned paper-writing, I'm entering hell-three-weeks. Semester ends May 14th, and before that, I have the ten page paper I'm working on now, two 6-8 page papers that I haven't started, a slide quiz, two in-class finals, a take-home final, and a few presentations. Plus readings and normal homework, of course! So while fic-writing seems to be chugging along whether I want it to or not (seriously, this is ridiculous, just ask smaragdina), fic posting is going to drop off again. It doesn't help that I've decided to get a lot more of ASNAWOH up before I post any more of it, and that's the fic that's taking up all of my mind.

It may have a Jesus Christ Superstar shout out in it.

Oh, and while I'm wasting time, here's a glimpse of my schedule for next semester:

10:10 - 11:00 AM :: Intro Mandarin
12:10 - 1:00 PM :: Human Sexuality and Culture

I also have a few Sunday night seminars during the first semester for my comps (comprehensive final exam within my major, required for graduation), and AT four-ish times a week (an hour each of review for Intro Mandarin).

WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF, F-LIST. WHYYYY. Oh, right, because I have interests that far outstrip my stamina and I refuse to admit the latter bit of that.

So. I suppose that's back to work, then! I have a me-being-emo post to write, too, but that can wait.

Good luck with everything. I'm trying to work of a fic myself right now, and at the moment I'm considering completely rewriting the first chapter for the third time. -_-..

It's stressful but can be so worth it if you can get it to work. The first two chapters of ASNAWOH were okay but just seemed off - now I have more interesting relationships and some awesome details! And all it took was scrapping stuff and rewriting and poking at it and stressing over it constantly for a few weeks. XD
