mithen--What did you learn from the WiPs you're working on?
Let's see... from one I learned that I like writing moody atmospheric pieces, but I find it hard to write without a traditional plot of some sort to hang the atmospherics on. From another I learned that I can have fun writing a pairing that breaks up my OTP as long as I don't do it for too long (usually that is just flatly not possible for me, an OTP is an OTP is an OTP) but I have to keep kicking the neglected member of the pairing in the face to keep him from busting into the story and taking over. Annnnd I think from the third I learned that there are ways to talk about the frisson between the combative fiction of wrestling and the cooperative reality of wrestling without it becoming RPF, but it takes some work. None of these are important life lessons, but I think that's fine! How about you guys? And how goes the week?
