Sunday Six, 10/6

I had a whole section that I was inspired to write but by the time I'd finished the scene the dialogue I was first inspired to write no longer fit with the tone of the scene. I was very sad about it.




"I - I can, but - " he steadies himself, wills his mind to focus. "Allura, hearing you talk about me like that - asking Shiro instead of me, like I'm not there - "

"Oh!" She stops moving abruptly which is the exact opposite of what he wanted. "I'm so sorry, I was just - I was only teasing, I hadn't even thought it would sound like that - "

"Allura," he interrupts her, his voice thin with need. "Allura, I love it."

"...oh." Its a very different oh this time.

OMG, I love this. :D It would have been great if it really was Lance needing to ask for a change and Allura being wonderfully considerate, but what it is instead is so delicious! I love the tiny little twist to it.

Ugh, no wonder! I hate it when that happens. Sympathy!

To be honest, for my first time trying to finish something in a while, I wanted to avoid writing too much negotiating. Not because I don't like it or think it wouldn't work in the fic, but just because it's something I find a little difficult to write, and I want to keep things as easy as possible for myself. That said, there's still some back-and-forth in the beginning of a couple of scenes, because it wouldn't feel realistic otherwise. And I did want to make sure that I emphasized everyone involved checking on each other and making sure everyone was feeling okay, because I personally like that in fics. :)

Also yes it makes me feel so ambivalent when that happens because some of my wordcount is effectively wasted but...I mean...at least I wrote something? Better than nothing?

That makes total sense about wanting to keep it more or less in your comfort zone while you're getting back in the swing of things! And since I share your appreciation for characters checking in, I love what you're coming up with.

I think my lack of sleep is showing, I didn't realize how much I was paraphrasing you in the comment I left on your latest entry! But yeah, this is something I really struggle with too, especially since I'm not a fast writer -- but since I'm chipping away at a WIP that's a little more ambitious than my usual, I guess I'm trying extra hard to remember it right now.
