Write Every Day: 14 November 02019
Nov. 14th, 2019 09:48 pmGreetings! This is the Write Every Day Check-In Post for 14 November 02019.
Today I got to check off another couple items on the List of Infamy with regard to my profession, which I believe advances me further toward the goal of being a Real Librarian (as opposed to one who has not yet seen enough of the underside of the public to be thought of as Real, which is a terrible metric to measure anyone's customer service bona fides with.) There are some poor life decisions that people make, and sometimes those decisions get made in public around us and we deal with the consequences of those decisions. Which is to say, if you leave behind proof that you are doing illegal things in the library, you probably should just count it as lost rather than trying to retrieve it from the desk staff, hoping they won't recognize it for what it is.
Writing today wasn't stalled so much as it was me having to spend a lot of time doing other things, but, having not learned my lesson about it the last time, I wrote the first six sentences of what will be songfic number two so I had something to show off at St. Hap's. In theory, this should be an easier thing, because I'm working off song prompts instead of fic prompts, right? (HAAAAA. Tell that to the 18k of not-lyric that came from the first songfic and how long it took to get done.) Thre's an ending to the fic I found the plot for yesterday lurking out there somewhere, but I don't have it now, so I'm going to go work on other things and wait for it to arrive. After I get done with the other weekly project. And possibly stuff some food in my face, because tonight was a late night for me, and I have yet to give myself a substantive dinner before bed.

...I admit, I snickered at your phrasing here, but sympathies on having to deal with that.
I went and wrote three sentences upon seeing this post. I have written today. Hopefully I'll get more. The Yuletide fic has taken a turn for the sort of major onscreen hurt that is typical of canon; I'm hoping I can pull off both the hit and the upswing.
