Writing things, mostly rambling to myself.
Dance Me To The End Of Love has been sitting silent pretty much for the last couple of months. Partly because I needed write a conversation between Steve, and Maria's previous ex, and it was hard to navigate a line that wasn't the traditional "two dogs fighting over a bone" and yet had a point behind it that wasn't just to deal with Steve's feels.
Finally got that done, and the conversation with Sharon, the conversation with Nat, and the first time a crisis comes up that the renegade Avengers can't deal with (it's not world-shattering and they're not ready).
The next scene is a confrontation between Maria and Steve|Nat|Clint about her going on a mission, with Pepper and Sam Decidedly Not Getting Involved. The mission takes up most of the remainder of this section which is currently sitting at 4,700 words and will probably hit 10K given how I write missions, and the discussions which need to take place.
I have the ending in place, although there are still a few things in flux...

Sharp Evening Stars And Bright Morning Flame is satisfactorily plotted out. Can I write it in the next 3 weeks? I'm doubtful.
I seem to have overreached myself in due dates right now.
There's
crossovering and
marvel_poc, both of which have plotbunnies, only they're pretty decently sized ones and will probably be written right up to the deadline.
I signed up for a quilting swap for Marvel characters about a month ago, and am planning to make a polygon hulk shoulder bag. Paper piecing is harder and more intricate than it looks.
And then I signed up to pattern-test a new bag pattern which is due...you guessed it - October!
Summercomp hockey starts up in the 2nd half of October, too.
And a 'proof of concept' has been floated at work, and I got assigned to it. Only I'm the database and the main interface, and I've been working on another project for the last couple of weeks. The UI developer has more or less stepped away from the project in disgust and concern that it's not managed properly, and the project managers are all either really high up, or else in sales and more concerned with whether it's pretty enough and not whether it does anything that the proof of concept is wanting.
Plus, new tech and skills. Always harder to do than just leaping into something familiar...
So I'm a bit stressed right now.
On the plus side, the parentals come home from the US by mid-October, so I get B2 back in the house. It'll be nice to have someone at home to come home to and chat with.
