I don’t want to do the thing. I want to write

Getting some writing in after I showering and freshening up for today.
I will start my writing sprint with Abbie, since her newest one is for today.
I think I prefer to do shorter writing sprints with my handwritten story since that is painful to think about doing a fairly long-ish one. I will do that later on today.
Will greatly consider doing some bit of walking in the afternoon or evening-ish to get fresh and stretch.
Nothing else to report.
Over and out!
Yeah, I know as well 
But I mean, when they purposely draw them to look underage when they’re not. That’s creepy as hell to me.
Haha, yes.
Not everything should go. If it goes against the logic of the world-building it shouldn’t happen. If friends are strictly friends then they should be so in canon because it was meant to be that for a reason. No amount of fan perusasion should be changing that.
Creators should put up more boundaries between what is canon, and what will never be canon. Sure, people can ship outside of that canon, but they should be aware that it will NEVER be CANON. It is the creator’s creation, after all. Not the fans.

Well, Im weirded out when AI cant get age right, so I get that. Im used to it in anime. Kiddy Grade’s Lumiere, for example.
Im in the process of clipping out for the face and hair alone on these things, and nothing is more disturbing when the face is this young and the body belongs to a 20 year old…
There’s a reason why I seperate it from the body. This at keast looks teen. The worst ones are when its a 5 year old’s face. You’re getting into real-looking instead of a cartoon that is in no way real. This one was relatively clean…just no. Enough internet.

Yes, I agree.
Yes, thankfully you can separate the head and the body.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I agree with your comment.
It is sad because creators get in that position where “I am doing this for me or for the fanbase instead?” Any time the creator were to think only of themselves even a little, fans retaliate with sheer amount of disrespect towards the creator for simply NOT giving into their weird ass demands.
Like, I often wonder, if I were published and had a decent size fandom that grew over time, just how much should I cater to my fans while not showing that I want to do things my way.
It’s hard for people who get popular, because now it isn’t your story any longer, it’s you and the FANS that enjoy the work you’ve made.
I think creators should crack down on things. I get fans like to have fun and enjoy themselves, but there are so many batshit crazy elitist fans out there who is so pro-my-word-is-absolute-about things.
It’s a struggle when you are famous in this line of creativity. People can really lose themselves in the fandom’s demands and how to properly please them.
I am not even sure if I envy that about creators.
It has to suck like hell!

Its one thi g if you set out to cater to this (this is the wreason wht you write at all). It may not be a single thing I’m going to ever read because youre making comfort food for someone who ain’t me.
But CAVING IN is something else. I like authors who have the guts to kill characters as a response to this stuff.

Rauw Alejandro would have been a super popular New Wave artist in the 1980s if he was born in 1953 and not in 1993, lol. He would have made his own mark, and revolutionized the music industry.

Lunch. I want to buy lunch that is affordable.
So, I might walk to get something from the pizzeria near me.
I eat hours ago and I want to eat something small-ish till dinner time later.
Also, I am tired from the handwriting writing sprints. I still have not done the one with Abbie yet, but I will fairly soon after I eat and stretch a bit.
I also did some reading while during my breaks as well.
Which is great because I am strolling along into the story or rather both stories.
Can’t chat anymore. I am hungry for something to buy.

It started thundering and raining.
Now, I’m pissed because I really wanted to get lunch by walking to the pizzeria!
I refuse to walk in a thunderstorm.
Not again!
So, it is coming by delivery. Yippy skippy…

I’m attempting to write the long overdue fourth chapter for my story. But I have no idea of what scenes the chapter should include, which topics the characters should discuss, and how long the chapter should be. I would like to keep the draft’s word count below 4,000, but that’s doubtful.

One is too many.
Dear Shinji,
You work for a secret government agency with near limitless resources.
Your teammates are Rei and Asuka.
Your flatmate is Misato (and Pen-Pen).
You pilot a 150ft nigh-invincible bio-robot.
Stop complaining!

Is it a “hot tub scene” (not whilly necessary chapter)? Or are you foreshadowing future events, aetting up themes?
This chapter involves the characters settling into their new home, and roles, and introducing some of their perspectives / opinions on their situations.
Some major chapter events planned so far
Freyja is moved into Krista’s bedroom. Freyja carries / handles ornate wooden furniture with little effort.
Freyja asks about her parents and family, and is told she’s an orphan (half truth…Freyja is a hybrid clone, made not born…). However, Freyja’s companions assure her that, with friends like Dov and Krista, she has a lot more than most girls.
Outside of Freyja’s hearing range, Dov cautions his hosts to never refer to Freyja as a clone or science experiment. To Dov, she is a special girl and a loyal friend.
Update: decided this would be stating the obvious between characters (and out of character anyway…no one is dumb enough to mention Freyja’s secret (especially in her presence)…). A more natural / entertaining discussion topic (for Dov’s Israeli hosts) would be Dov’s romantic life.
After lunch the companions venture into the villa’s library. Dov searches for dictionaries and language learning books, to help Freyja understand and use the vast multi-lingual vocabulary tumbling around her cybernetic brain, but Krista is more determined to start Freyja’s collection of fiction and fairytale books (far more entertaining).
After dinner, Dov is volunteered (ordered) by Krista to read a bedtime story to Freyja in her new room. A few paragraphs in and the girls are asleep. Dov decides to sleep in the reading chair and not risk waking anyone. Previous events suggest Freyja can sense Dov’s presence while asleep, and she might be unnerved by his absence (for the first night in Krista’s room at least).
Interesting you mentioned a hot tub
The draft’s second scene features Dov revising Freyja’s memory of the previous day’s teeth-brushing lesson (with Krista). Dov notices Freyja struggles to control her immense strength (hurting her gums with excessive pressure), so he decides to let Freyja shave him (a spontaneous lesson on how to be gentle). But Freyja’s terrified of hurting Dov, so Krista helps for the first part / cheek.
Later (perhaps), Krista states she didn’t wash Freyja’s hair the previous day because she was scared of getting soap in Freyja’s eyes and scaring or hurting her, invoking an accidental though lethal response (washing Freyja was like bathing with a skittish Orca ~ Krista). So Krista recommends Dov should teach Freyja how to wash her hair after the girls have finished with the bathroom. The two present a natural talent for calming each other (and dispelling any fears).

Making another phone call that I really need to make since changes are happening for me in a good way.
Got to call my nutritionist again after many months from when we last talked.

I called my nutritionist, but left a detail message for him.
I keep thinking about upping my dosage on my medication a little, because yeah things are going great, but honestly it feels like I can do better.
I am either striving for changes that I can notice even more or just scared for some reason.
There are some habits that I am still unable to break. I just want to end those habits whether with therapy or medication.
Raising it more than I should, could be a bad thing if I am not careful.
I might become too alert and something else.
sigh I talk in detail with my psychiatrist for our upcoming appointment about it.
