Random life/travel/stress stuff has kept me distracted, but I am back! And actually wrote some fiction! I'm actually having some interesting thoughts about the way I approach canon right now--I have a tendency to put lines and moments together and come up with theories about why characters are doing what they're doing, and people often respond with "But since they didn't SAY IT CLEARLY, it can't be correct." I do think my background as a fanfic writer makes it so I approach the canonical text differently, it hones the tendency to try and read subtext and implications. But, uh, let's just say I don't feel comfortable telling people "Oh, my background of writing characters in non-canonical romances inclines me toward paying attention to subtext," so... yeah.

How goes the writing? How goes life? The question for this week:

--Share a line from your WiP that you think sums up its premise.

Hah, well, I just finished writing the line I picked up the whole story for, cheesy and gushy and on-the-nose as it is, so:

Sami felt a sudden odd rush of utter pride well up in him. “My friend is fucking spectacular,,” he announced. “He’s the bravest, strongest, most self-sacrificing person I know, and I love him with all my heart.”

How about you? What sums up the main idea of your current WiP?
