Dreamland- feel free to stay

Keeping up with this for a second week in a row (and actually posting on a Wednesday this time! I realized belatedly that I did the last one on a Tuesday, which is actually a pretty good summary of my life right now: trying my best, struggling more than a little)

New words this week : 3659 words which is a little lower than last week, but I'm all right with it. Weekend before last I had two unexpected chunks of free time that went entirely to writing and I didn't have that this week.

WIPs worked on this week : 3, with one new WIP

The Old Guard
☆ Old Kingdom AU : 2533 words which brings the total to 13936 words and this is still an uphill slog. Where last we left it, I had figured out the tone issue, but then I came to the realization that I think it wants to be dual-POV, which would be fine except one of them doesn't show up until probably 20k into the fic. (Conservatively 20k, I tend to run long and it could very well be more.) So then I thought alternating a flashback in there from the other POV? But then that wasn't really coming together either, and I'm really struggling to not info-dump a whole bunch at the beginning and just ugh. I have a such a clear vision in my head of what I want it to be and I just can't find the words to get it on the page.

☆ Redamancy : 661 words which brings the total to 5552 words. Most of them went into one fic, a few went into another. Debating posting some of them out of order, because the next one in the series is the one I'm feeling least inspired about and I think it's holding me up on finishing the rest. Idk, I'm still having a lot of complicated feelings about the sequel (I enjoyed it a lot, but 'I enjoyed this movie' and 'This was a good movie' are two VERY different statements.) so I think the main issue is that I'm just not feeling canon compliant stuff right now.

☆ food truck au : 465 words which brings the total to 465 words. This is an entirely silly little idea that popped into my head as I was driving yesterday and passed a halal food truck, and thought that food truck owner!Joe and office worker!Nicky would make a nice meet-cute. Threw some words at it last night and it's actually going to be more of a meet-ugly with some bonus identity porn thrown in. It'll be short and I'm hopeful I can get it done in the next couple of days. I'm already up to 1.2k on it and I don't think it'll be more than 5ish. I think I needed a break from my bigger project so I'm hoping this will be something of a palate cleanser and I can come back fresh.
