Okay, I've heard Tamora Pierce quoted as saying she lives to write battle scenes. I never understood that, though I do appreciate reading those battle scenes.
But now? I get it.
Only for me, it's chase scenes -- car chases in particular. I dreamed a car chase this morning, and then it basically wrote itself. Note to self: when stuck or discouraged, make a car chase happen. Best, most dynamic 1500 words of the NaNo so far!
Yeah, the NaNo is at 36k. If all goes well, I should be hitting 50 by Saturday!
In other news, I have another chest cold (or maybe the same one lingering on; I'm losing track), and have spent half of the weekend in bed, hoping that will make it go away. Though I did manage to visit my folks on Friday and go out for dinner with Aurora Saturday, which turned out to be exactly what I needed.
Meanwhile, this is the start of "Reclaiming Dom Week" over at Glake, which I feel that I ought to be open-minded about... but the truth is that there are so many characters I already love, and I don't have time to write or read or analyze as much as I'd like to about them -- witness my almost total lack of participation in "Wyldon Winter" last week. But... I'll try. I do think it would benefit Pierce fandom to have a better -- more three-dimensional, more complex, more real -- fanon!Dom, so if this event makes a difference in that regard, I'll be glad. I don't promise to participate, given every other direction my attention wants or needs to go. But I'll try.

Lol. Hey, whatever you post for Reclaiming Dom Week, no matter how much, I'm sure it'd be really good and valuable :)
