The current thing-I'm-writing-that-four-people-ever-will-understand is driving me up the wall. It seems like the more obscure the thing I'm writing is, the more I care about how it works, although this might be because when I write for reaaaaally tiny audiences it's always a really tiny audience of people who I really like and respect, so. But -- you know -- it's already got theoretical sections with German subtitles and varying text alignments and very few periods and many, many run-on sentences, and three POVs in less than a thousand words, and I keep thinking of more weird shit I want to do to it. Like: add another POV. Or font colors. Or a soundtrack.

Writing as you do will constantly force you to work harder and try new, different things.

This is excellent, and I approve; your drive and perfectionism is going to pwn the world one day.

(Soooooundtrack)

As -- as long as these new and different things don't involve "total insomnia because I can't get this one voice right"

(Well, it's an Academy-as-in-Firefly variation fic, so the soundtrack would involve a lot of heavy breathing into the microphone occasionally punctuated by the Andrew Bird violin noise. This would be that noise you can make a violin make which goes NNNNNNYYYYYeeeennnnnnnuuuuuuuuuuu. I don't think anyone really needs this...)

(-- WHERE?!? oh man)

YOU MUST SUFFER FOR YOUR ART

I'm not really helping. SORRY

(NOT YET POSTED let me see what I can do. Omasvara's song is embarrassing.)
