Misc. stuff:
I finally finished edits and notes for Chapter 8 of my German friend's book, so that's a weight off my shoulders. I try really hard not to let my issues with time management and motivation impact other people, so I always feel bad when I fall behind on something I'm supposed to do for someone else.

I feel a nap creeping up on me (even though it's 7:00), so I may give in. I haven't gotten much sleep the last several nights, so I'm not too worried about it if I fall asleep drastically early. That *does* mean I might flake on writing today, which I'm less happy about... but if I wake up after sleeping for a few hours, I can work on it then.

Last night I completely reoutlined my mermay fic/"Step Right Up". I realized I just... really didn't like the way it was playing out, or how the pacing was going. The lead in was also pretty slow, and I realized I could cut the first couple scenes entirely and start the fic at a later point. I think it'll make for a better fic in the end, but it's a little frustrating to want to start over when I've got so little time before my (admittedly self-imposed) deadline.
I think the new outline is a better one, though. It fixes a couple small issues that weren't in keeping with the first fic (though again, it's an AU of my own AU, so it doesn't *really* matter.) The outline itself is just under 1000 words, which makes me wonder if I'll actually keep the fic to 5000-ish. We'll see!
Tomorrow is probably not going to be a heavy writing day, because we're planning on going to a garden for the afternoon... but maybe I'll find some time before or after to try and marathon out some writing. If I don't, I've gotta do it on Saturday after work, because Sunday after work I'm going over to Taylor's house, and spending Monday there. Soooo... really tomorrow is my only day to work on it, oof.
This seemed so manageable when I looked at it before! Lol.
