i'm stuck on a chunk of exposition early into part iii of S11 au and it's a sucky feeling. i'm at a good place to refresh wash's (and the audience's) knowledge of goings-on, but i can't find a good way to get it all out. i haven't written in a week and it feels bad.

(i've not been feeling well lately too (i spent almost 7 hours straight explaining and leading a raid group on saturday night, and let me just say, that's a great way to lose your voice entirely), which has definitely contributed to the Not Writing, and i've also been in that particular kind of funk where i can't watch or read anything because nothing is engaging or interesting. it blows. usually i can work myself out of a creative block by getting ~inspired~, but i can't even sit down with something new or old to enjoy it. BUT, i did take a day off this week, and there's the holiday too, so hopefully it'll give me space to recharge.)

on the plus side, i've been refining some older stuff i've had written for the further-on parts, and those refinements feel really good. i was going to make [relationship] a subtle/if-you-squint type of thing, but now..... nah. it's certainly not major enough to tag, but i'm not gonna let it fly under the radar. (i keenly understand the suffering felt when looking for X/Y and it's been tagged in a giant 300k word monster alongside 50 other ships and the major ship being your notp, lol. i'm not about that.) and writing this, i've just remembered that i have more stuff i intended to cut out of my older fragments, so i'm going to go do that and call it a night and then get as much sleep as i possibly can.

(also, minor bit of salt here, but every time i filter out my notp when browsing rvb fics and the fic count tanks by at least 25%? yeowch.)
