Words? From my brain?

deemoyzaIt's less likely than you think.
But I did! I got some words down on creative projects and I'm happy about that! The bulk of them came from writing to a prompt on Tumblr about a hypothetical fic (the prompt explains it better). It featured Rinoa, Edea, and Angelo going on a road trip and Edea adopting a scraggly little dog of her own that she names (somewhat) after Irvine. It's as silly as it sounds, but damn, if it didn't generate a few plot bunnies of its own!
The other story is totally out of my usual oeuvre, going to some pretty dark places, but the beginning of it just kind of poured out early Tuesday morning. Basically, Rinoa, tired of being treated like a kid even by her friends, runs away from Balamb Garden on her 21st birthday to celebrate like an "adult." Instead, she runs into Seifer, and he takes her to a new club in Timber, where things really spiral out of control, fast. Rinoa loses control of her powers, there's a bit of dubcon, and a body count by the end. I don't know, in recent years I've become fascinated with the potential of darkness inside Rinoa, and by her relationships with others she doesn't get much screen time with in canon. I don't know if I'll finish it, but it might make a nice dark bit for Halloween.
Anyway, I suspect I may have written as many words about the words I wrote as I did in their actual respective projects! So, on to the stats:
Total words written this week: 2,713
Total words written this year: 24,943
