So, yeah, I'm re-reading the novelthing.
Am I supposed to hurt this much for my own character? Is that a sign of good writing or just that I'm too invested and should step away for awhile? Because, damn. And it's not that he's in physical pain at this point, either--he's not. He just thinks that the tiny shreds of sanity he has left are slipping away, and he's trying desperately to hold them with no idea how he's going to actually do so. It's killing me.
Yes, even though I know how it ends.
Clearly, I'm a wuss.
Also, I want fanart. I've been googling various images and coming up with stuff that's "close but no cigar" or "right vibe wrong subject matter" for what I'm looking for, and it's very frustrating. I've been itching to make new wallpaper, but I'm not finding anything I can actually use.
I'm ... going to have to make my own, aren't I. And this is bad, because, while I can draw animals (sometimes), I suck at drawing people, and I want something that's halfway photorealistic.
I know, I'm a demanding bitch. Gah.

It's doable. I just don't know if it's doable by me.
