Should we expect another chapter of Dale this weekend, or is it next weekend?
@roolsilver
this coming weekend is officially a Dale weekend. i should have put up the next Free Piano chapter this past sunday, but i'm behind (which is why Dale basically posted an entire week late).
work is still really busy (i'm at the office right now)
my plan though is that i'm gonna prioritize Dale and then post a few off sunday Free Piano parts to get back to my original schedule for that story, hopefully within a week or two cuz i'm also trying to do nanowrimo? which is probably a mistake? and work likely isn't gonna slow down, though i'm trying to catch back up with that too
i just don't want to get behind on Dale because January-March is The Busy Season for my work and i will be on hiatus for probably all writing during those months (which i did last year and is why there was that big gap between Part 3 and Part 4 lol) it might be more mid-Jan to mid-April but still a three month hiatus

looking at what I want to write for the rest of the year and it’s like ooooh boy I may have overcommitted here
2 exchanges, 7 event related fics, 1 big bang, 1 gift, 2 (TWO!! WHY??) longfics, 2 fics in my ongoing series (though one of those is already finished thankfully), and something I would like to post on NYE

so, this is nice to see. like. sometimes it just feels like i’m not accomplishing anything, right
my ao3 wordcount for 2022, as of today:
that doesn’t include at least 120k of original stuff, if somewhat sleep-deprived memory serves. that doesn’t count the 20k oneshot rotting while i put off finishing the last scene, or the 60k fic that’s just getting started. it doesn’t include ideas i started and pushed aside halfway through.
i hate to risk sounding like i’m bragging but damn. it’s not a lot. it’s not anything, to most people, especially being that it’s free labor.
but that’s half a million words there, easy, and i know all of them are good. i have faith in my competence.
whatever else comes out of this year, i did that much. and i know wren from last november wouldn’t have dreamed of a 500k year, let alone a 500k year i wasn’t even trying to pull. the only person i ever have to impress is my former self, right?

I want to participate in nanowrimo this year but can’t decide what to do. What would you guys want to see from me? Can’t promise I’ll stick with the winner but I’m interested to know what my readers are most looking forward to.
I would write through November, most likely in first draft stage then start posting polished pieces later in Nov and into December and beyond. This is how I wrote the first 60k-ish words of Jason and the Three Terrors back in 2019. I’ve been writing more lately but it hasn’t been on things that are ready to publish. I’m trying to avoid starting new long-fics when I have a handful not complete.

Two months ago, he walked into John's clinic as if no time had passed at all. John hasn't seen him since. But then Sherlock knocks on John's door with a case he can't say no to, and while figuring out why the biggest manufacturer or synthetic limbs in the System is going after veterans, they also need to find out whether there's a way to fix what's broken between them.

That he'll drown in the black spaces of his mind, and that one day he will no longer exist. It's always been like this, the dark spots marking out moments in his life he can't remember. Where for just a moment he's someone else. Having a Dissociative identity disorder, he can't even be entirely sure he's really who he says he is. Then he meets Sherlock Holmes. A brilliant detective who when he looks at you can read your entire life story. John is immediately fascinated and afraid, half-wondering if maybe Sherlock can see the other personalities in him and half terrified of the thought of him finding out. Becoming his flatmate seems at once to be a wonderful and horrible idea. Yet as John's Blackouts become more and more severe and his other personalities begin to truly awaken and show themselves with Sherlock's help, the two soon discover that sometimes even the kindest person can harbour a demon best left untouched inside of them. Because not all of John's other personalities play nicely and some may be hiding secrets best left undisturbed...

For WIP Wednesday, which I never do but am doing this week, I am showing you ten of my favorite lines from my Klapollo Bang fic (which is starting posting on Nov 1st). I am doing this bc I need to motivate myself to finish chapters 4-6 which are giving me trouble. I've been writing out of order so I have 50k so far but they're not at the beginning.
"No worries, I get it," she winked. "I was hidden behind Polly's giant forehead."
2. Klavier looked like he didn't believe him, which was fair because he was lying.
3. "It must be hard having a celebrity girlfriend who is also a cat and a boy."
4. "Did you steal this from a little boy's birthday parry, Justice-dono?"
5. "A sink? Are you physically incapable of using a desk that was made to be a desk?"
6. "Did you seriously forget he's famous again?"
7. "I can't believe people are mad about the pineapple. There are so many horrors in the world."
8. "The bowling incident of 2024 speaks for itself."
9. "Don't worry, Justice. I'll keep my judgement to myself. Just know that I am judging you."
10. "Yeah, I know it was for his birthday, but- You meant Trucy, didn't you... What am I talking about? You didn't mean anything. You're a cat. I'm arguing with my cat because he won't listen to me talk about law... This is fine. I'm calling Trucy."
