Write Every Day: 05 August 02019

Greetings! This is the Write Every Day Check-in post for 05 August 02019.

I haven't exactly been doing research today, as the fic that I'm reading is longform and very MCU (The "Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail" series on AO3 and a spinoff series from it, "Yours, G. Miles", also on AO3). It's very good, though, in the way that people come back to themselves after traumatic events and forge their lives onward in spite of suh things. It's relatable in ways that I don't really need to go into, as I have neither been frozen for 70 years nor turned into a machine for killing, but sometimes the situations you get yourself into take a long time to dig yourself out of, and there are still some things that can provoke very strong reactions while you're getting out. Or there are times where you're not entirely sure that the things that happened to you really happened, and whether you're just imagining them. Having a good set of friends to help ground you in reality is important in those times. And I hope that you have people who will tell you those things. And people who will beta your work, even if they're not at all familiar with the fandom(s) involved.

I managed a little progress on writing today, as I'm trying to get around a plot point where it would be easier to resort to physical violence, but I realized that it would be the wrong characterization for someone to escalate that quickly and easily when they really need someone to stay with them to handle the parts they're not good at.

( It's tally time! )
