I GOT WRITING DONE THIS WEEK! Solid, enjoyable fic writing. It felt so good and it's been so long. *happy sigh* Now I'm really hoping to tackle something DC-related in addition to the wrestling once more.

--Does your most recent POV character have an obsession? Name it.

Ahhhahahaha, this is a good one for Kevin Owens, who is basically a seething ball of various obsessions: with food, with success, with proving himself better than anyone else, and with his ex-friend Sami Zayn. I love characters with obsessions, they drive stories forward and add so much tension (superheroes without obsessions are rare indeed!)

How are your obsessions going lately? And your writing? (For me they are much the same...)

Yay!!!! Congrats on getting the writing done! It's always a lovely feeling, isn't it?

Hmmm, I'm working on a new short story and I have to say that Dana's obsession is how much she hates her mother and why hasn't she cut the woman off yet? Which obsesses her far more than the giant raccoon-shadow-beast she saw last night outside her hotel or the woman she saw fighting it with a deck broom or the little shadow-raccoons that infested her hotel room's entertainment center.

Those are all temporary. Dana's mother is MUCH more long-term of an annoyance. Dana's practical that way. *grin*

Sadly, I'm not getting much in the way of writing done due to this week being one long series of audits. I had to do an audit (I lead it) on Tuesday (and had only begun to prepare on Monday), then we had a customer audit on Wednesday and another one today.

My brain is burned on the bottom and jelly everywhere else. I'm pretty much hoping for a bare 250 words today (got 300 yesterday) because I don't think I can manage much more.

But I did finish the third of the 3 novels in 3 months challenge books so it's all good. Tiring but good.

Good luck with your writing obsession next week!

I LIKE HER. :D

I hope you've gotten through the audits okay! They sound like a real pain--today so far has been all emergency paperwork and Dealing With People in Japanese, so I hear your pain. (I did get a little of the Lego Batman writing in, though!)
