(no subject)

The sky was trying so hard to snow while I was walking back from work this morning. You could smell it in the air, see the tell-tale white cloud cover draped across the tops of the evergreens. As I walked my breath came before me in puffs of pure white. Tiny flakes of slush kissed my nose and forehead. It was like winter saying hello.

If it had been ten degrees cooler, I would have seen my third snowfall on the Valley floor. 43 degrees was plenty cool enough for my tired blood to push through!

Happy December 1st everyone <333.

brace yourselves: Kol is attempting a Supernatural fic. *___*

The cloud cover hung low and cast the streets pale, dingy gray as I walked back to the mall. The trip was not overly cool in spite of the late hour, and I very much enjoyed the celebratory Panda & half-pound of my favorite See's Candies. The sky did set an ominous cast that matched the mood in the novel I started at the food court perfectly.

I refrained from diving into Whiskey and Water by Elizabeth Bear until after Nano, and am pleased it has been worth the wait. Nothing but love for the careful, yet undeniably graceful, way she strings words together. It feels good to read again, especially a piece that fills me with wordie joy.

Reading aside: I begin revisions on Dolom tomorrow, and am very apprehensive of how it will turn out. I fundamentally don't know how to incorporate the changes requested while still keep her the character I spent a year stretching out so I could comfortably slip into her mindset. The fear is if I do change her personality again, that comfort will be lost and I will no longer care to play the character. It really is that narrow a line with me-- and I did have a lot of fun working with the character in a more realistic setting in Stomping Out Sparks. All of this means means that if I am on AIM tomorrow, kick me in the butt and tell me to just revise her already and stop worrying so much. XD

The question for you FLIST: have you ever experienced revising a character application? How did the process go for you? And do you have an advice for my own impending effort?
