Weekly? Writing Update

deemoyzaI wrote a thing! It's not a great thing, but it is a complete thing, which is more than I accomplished throughout all of July. So, yay! 🎉
Honestly, I just needed a little warm-up fic to get back into my creative groove before I get started on my Press Start fic (for which I have a solid idea, just no...actual writing, yet). The fact that the warm-up fic happens to be a cheesy little rarepair raft is pretty indicative of how desperate I was to write something, anything again.
I was tinkering with another Daryl/Setzer smut fic for a while, but I got hung up on the details of opera boxes, librettos, and lighting, so have Nida and Selphie awkwardly stumbling toward something a little more than friendship, instead. I do like the idea of them together, two characters that I really can't imagine being overtly romantic, but who can learn to respect and take each other seriously when others won't. I do have more adventures planned for them (fair warning!), but those will have to wait for when I have a bit more time.
In non-writing news, my workplace is finally going back to normal hours on Monday! No more gulping down dinner on my way out the door, no more sleeping for an hour until the store or laundromat opens, then trying to get in some more sleep in the afternoon. Nope, my schedule will go back to being streamlined, in which errands are completed on the way home and the rest of the day is mine. Hopefully, this will reflect well in my creativity/productivity.
Anyhow, I'm glad to have writing to report again. Let's see the stats.
Total words written this week: 3,958
Total words written this year: 69,075
Total days written this week: 1
Total days written this year: 56
Better than nothing! :D
