Fic, friday and...
My giant fic-of-doom is chugging along. Word count now stands at 64900 (ish) and I have two chapters and an epilogue left to write. I don't think I'm going to meet my self-imposed deadline of finishing by next week, though. I am giving serious thought to not letting myself watch the new SPN eps until I've got a completed first draft...the trouble with that plan is there'll be spoilers all over my flist ruining my willpower. But the last two chapters are going to be the toughest to write. I've already killed two characters and now I need to do something permanent to a character I really like and don't want to. But the needs of the plot come first. He's going to do something important and the bad guys simply wouldn't let that go unpunished. After that I have my climactic scene and I'm still dithering over the POV on that one. Will it work better in the POV of the one who's going to do the deed, or would it be more shocking from a witness POV? Can't tell. I may need to write it both ways to find out.
I skipped my Saturday movie last week to write, and now this week I have three movies I want to see. Normally I'd flip a coin and see two of the three, but I simply don't have time if I'm going to keep this fic on track. So I have a choice of three: Flashbacks of a Fool (Daniel Craig's new film), Fools Gold (Matthew Mcconaughey) or Happy Go Lucky with Sally Hawkins. I suspect the last will win 'cause Sally Hawkins is great and I'm far more likely to see a film for a female lead than I am for a male. Films with male leads I watch if the plot looks good. Films with women I'm more likely to take a chance even if the plot looks dodgy. But this one sounds good: I like indepenent films.
Lots more going on but I'm out of time - got to get breakfast and go to work. Happy Friday, everyone!
