Manitou Island word count: 130,173.

*ugh* Hope I can make next week's work out fine... -_-

Have to write P. a letter tonight and comment on his own story. I've neglected him SO badly, and he even found my Trench Rats story and commented! Oh, speaking of TR, there's a storyline in there I mentioned in the Rainbow Rhino forum once and a mod commented that she'd love to see the end product. Considering it's a serial, and one I haven't even had time to work on lately, I briefly fiddled with the idea of writing a "condensed" story (which would, nevertheless, be LONG--take a look at "Kebehut"!!) covering the storyline with Reseda and Silver, which is the part I commented about. It would be a way to show that part of the story, without having to write the rest first; sort of like what I did with "Random Scene 3." I really like the dynamic between those two and would like to show it off, especially if someone wants to see it. :) Not sure how well I could pull it off, and should I ever get around to writing more TR, if I got to that part it would probably have to be changed.

Not only that, but it starts out pretty...iffy. I still predict a PG-13 rating, but the way Reseda finds out about himself is touchy to me. I'm not sure how to depict it in writing without saying too much that would greatly embarrass me. I can't help it, I'm a prude. Do you know the writing of mine I talk about and state that I will never post anywhere so nobody but myself knows what it is? It's the writings I COULD post if I weren't such a prude. Yes, I've written stuff. Stuff beyond PG-13. *cough* o_o But it'll never be posted anywhere, and so I'm wracking my brain trying to figure a way to out poor Reseda.

Poor poor guy!! He's going to be so confused if I should ever get to write his story...

Well, short of asking around for advice, which I don't think I could do without dying of embarrassment, I'll have to figure out a way to do this on my own...I already know how it goes, but not how to word it properly...we'll see if that story ever gets told. And if it does I'm going to head over to RR and shamelessly plug it and then run like mad!!
