A Mish-Mash
May. 26th, 2011 08:03 pmFirst up, a link from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
one_more_cherry - Hobbes And Bacon, a fanart future!Calvin and Hobbes strip. It is made of <3.

Work is going forwardly-ish, by which I mean that at least my mistakes are new. This week, I appear to have accidentally broken the laws of physics (I am only partly joking).
The post office is holding some of my post to ransom. Basically, the local delivery is about as far away from me as it could be and still be local ~ a 1 hour walk away. Not a problem if it didn't close at 12.30 on a Saturday. I mean, I could probably make it, but grrrr!
Other than that, I don't understand people who think we'd be better off privatising the health service, because, they say, at least then it'll be efficient and competent. I do wonder which planet they're on, because businesses are just as inefficient as nationalised industries.

On the fic writing front, I'm sort of stuck on two fics. Both fics have the same kind of problem, because I'm writing from an unusual angle.
So fic one - character A (who is the first person POV character in the fic) is, well, let's be nice here, totally self-absorbed. Which is fine. If large chunks of the plot of the fic didn't revolve around character B being crazy in love (accent on the crazy) with A. Unfortunately, I'm having to try and get this across while A is mostly being all 'why are you being so crazy?' (matters are really not helped by B being generally incapable of expressing his emotions). It all ends badly, but I'm having difficulty making it clear why it ends quite so badly and still keeping everyone in character.
Fic two meanwhile has two characters who, if they were in a position to communicate, would make each other very happy indeed. Unfortunately, due to the situation they find themselves in, they can't. Which is just as aggravating for me as it is for them, because gah, I keep yelling at one of them that if he wasn't quite so stuck up, it would go a lot easier for him. Of course, the stuck up is an important part of his character.
