• 19:55:49: @Scarimonious Sounds like a plan to me!
  
• 20:11:30: @Scarimonious Ugh, right! I'm rewriting as we speak, despite knowing perfectly well I should just write and then edit

Note to self...

... Don't try revising stuff when you have a head cold and are dosed up on lemsip. Because everything will look rubbish, even the good stuff. And then you'll either try editing it and make it much, much worse in your fuzzy-headed state, or you'll throw a hissy fit and decide to scrap the entire project, and then realise in the morning that both approaches are wrong.

So yeah, that was me last night with Night and Chaos and another project, a sort of romancy urban fantasy thing I've been playing with since the summer. I didn't actually scrap anything, but I made a few ill-advised tweaks on Night and Chaos which I will now have to untweak, I think. But not until I've finished the first draft, right? Right. I was very tempted to scrap the romancy urban fantasy thing, but I know that if I do, in three weeks time I'll wish I hadn't because I'll suddenly have a brilliant new idea for it. So I turned off the laptop and passed out in front of the TV instead, which is probably what I should have done to start with.

Still no Ket :(
