st_aurafinaState of the Nano:
It's week three, I'm eight thousand words in the hole, it's dark, and I'm wearing sunglasses. HIT IT.
Seriously, I had a really shitty start to the month and I've been writing flat out since about the 6th, and I just can't make the difference up. But I'm still trying. Not drowning, waving. So far. Also, it's not the end of the world if I don't make it, right? (RIGHT??)
I was suppose to work on the sequel to the Person of Interest Sentinel/Guide fic, and the POI S5 fixit fic. Instead, shocking nobody, I have started new fics.
NaNo breakdown thus far:
- Person of Interest, Root/Shaw cavalry fic, 2225 words
Inner writer conversation:
Me: What would Shaw call her horse? Should there be some canon reference here?
Shaw: If I had a horse, I'd name it after food.
So Shaw's horse is called Hoggett, and Cole's is Annie because he's a romantic. Also they have sabres.
- Person of Interest, Unexpected Jessica/John pegging fic, 16K
Me: Imma write some pwp in an AU where Jess and John keep seeing each other after he joins the CIA
Also me: *gets really involved in details of AU and has to remind self to put in sexy pegging scenes*
- Fandom redacted, Yuletide fic, 4K
About halfway there, and very much enjoying writng it.
- Person of Interest, John and Grace roadtrip fic that will somehow become a threesome, 11K
Grace is awesome, and I love writing a character who is smart and empathetic and basically normal in the POI universe.
None of those are what I was supposed to write, but never mind. Also, I miss television and crochet and sleep. I need to finish Black Sails. And read all the things.
ETA: Added fandoms in because, asmonanotlisa points out, every show has a Jess or a John, it's true.

I giggled. But it took me while to even get the fandom. American character naming is...not creative.
