“I hate you,” she said bitterly.

He sneered at her. “See? Already you are acclimatizing so well to married life.”

The boy known as Ben Solo had been a
poor excuse for a Jedi. To his uncle’s chagrin, he had felt everything
too keenly, he had been repugnantly quick to succumb to his temper and
to his pride and to his sorrow in equal measure.

The man who called himself Kylo Ren
was not much different. The only thing that had changed was that, this
time, there was no one to stop him.

A Landscape update always makes everything better, no matter what.

Hit the 24,000 word mark tonight on Chapter Eighteen.  Slow but steady.  Still hoping to hit the 30K soft cap by the end of the week.  

95% of the 8K words in this chapter so far are ALL Kylo Ren.  This is the longest I’ve spent on his POV, and it wasn’t intentional.  I meant to spend a little time focusing on the plot, with Poe and Finn and Maz.  And I meant to write at least half of this dialogue through Rey’s eyes, but I really wanted to give their budding feelings the authenticity they deserved because I truly believe the enemies-to-lovers trope is a very difficult one to pull off in a manner that feels “real” to the reader, especially given the context of these characters and their motivations.

I felt that Rey’s POV was too close to the reader’s POV, and ultimately felt too much like speculation, or too much like author injection.  Like fangirly fan service, lol.  And this fic is ready to move past speculation.  So I’m writing what it’s like to develop romantic feelings from the POV of an absolutely terrified male.  One who has already been spurned by this woman once before by his own shamefully woeful lack of… tact, lol.  

And it’s as fitting as it is fascinating.  The move toward a deeper, more intimate connection is being told through the POV of someone who battles obvious mental illness.  It’s being told through the POV of someone who is a survivor of abuse.  

It’s being told through the POV of someone who battles crippling anxiety.  Which is good, because I am feeling an absolute shit ton of anxiety about writing this fic’s first real glimpse into finally changing the relationship between these two characters into something deeper and more romantic.  This can really go only one of two ways – cheesy and wrong…. or right on the nose.  There’s a lot of pressure here to swing and not miss – to get the tone right, to keep the pace slow and cautious – so it’s like a self-fulfilling prophecy.  I’m anxiously writing anxiety… with anxiety.

Sweet baby sarlaccs I hope you guys  like it……….

You smut writers make it look so easy, lol……….

Reblogging because I forgot to tag @reylowrimo =)

Going into the final stretch here!

Total today: 48,018. I did contemplate trying to finish it off this evening, but I had to take my husband to Urgent Care (bronchitis, he’ll be ok, but needs antibiotics and strong cough meds!).

Totals for each fic:

Walk Beneath the Stars: 27,591
Songfic attempts: 7032
RFFA fic: 8408
A Comedy of Errors: 4984

The last one is a new fic! Well, a new fic I had started about 1000 words of (not counted here). This one is a Christmas fake dating AU – but with a twist! She’s fake dating POE, who wants to bring home his boyfriend Finn, but his parents won’t accept him. So he lies and says he’s dating Rey…and Finn is like a brother to her and can’t he bring him home to? And then she meets his cranky cousin Ben Solo. And it all goes to hell. This is bound to be a lot of fluffy and possibly smutty fun. And it’s not going to be a long fic! 7 or 8 chapters at most, 2k or so per chapter. I intend to get this thing done by Christmas!

Apparently I needed a break from angst (WBTS) and smut (RFFA).

That means I need 1982 words to complete this thing. 

And then up next after that? 

1. Complete RFFA fic
2. Work on Rumbelle RSS fic, which I have not started and is due on December 23
3. Edit completed Songfic story, RFFA fic, and Rumbelle fic
4. Edit chapters of WBTS and contemplate starting to post that sucker.
5. Also outline the remaining chapters of WBTS. I’m currently just about to start writing chapter 18. The entire work at the moment is over 57k long. There’s still a lot left to go before I feel like I’m reaching the conclusion I want. I have 23 chapters outlined and that’s nowhere NEAR the end.

And then…break? LOL  Nahhhh…Looking at all of this I’m a little overwhelmed. I’ve NEVER had this much shit going on at once. Usually I’m working on one story at a time. Or I take a break while writing a long story to write ONE short one. This is all kinds of insane.
