OHMYGOD I am indecently happy. It takes so little to truly please me that it's pathetic.

But. But, but, but, I finished Seuche Chapter 24. No, really! I did! It's happy on my computer and on my backup disc and I am so, so thrilled about this as to make myself look like a positive idiot. Seriously. I did the html for my update singing as opposed to grumbling about fuckin' BORING doing html is. Yeah, it was along with my mp3 player, but still. SINGING. I scare myself sometimes.

So, because finishing = updating, here's Chapter 20! Please read it if you like that kind of thing.

Seuche Chapter 20: Vergißmeinnicht

Also! I managed to finish Chapter 24 before the end of February! At 11:35pm to be precise. This is important because I had it as a goal. Admittedly, I didn't get to post it until March, but that isn't really what is important. It's more that I set myself a goal with my writing and I actually managed to achieve it.

I've decided I am not going to write this fic on the bus any more. I think I'll start writing the still-untitled Weiss prequel on the bus instead. Writing this one on the bus isn't actually speeding me up. It's slowing me down, because all that happened is I ended up with a mental block about writing it anywhere other than on the bus. Since I decided I wasn't going to do that any more sometime last week, I've written 3,500 words, which is around 3,000 more than I would have managed had I still been writing on the bus.

Anyway.

(I need to make a note of how many times I say 'Anyway' on LJ: I think it's far too often.)

About Chapter 20. I can't say much without giving it away. All I can say is that I have wanted to post this one for months and been frustrated by my inability to get off my ass and write Chapter 24. I don't feel it was right to go on a two-month hiatus after a chapter ending like that. I just hope people out there like it, because personally I think it's one of my best. Don't know why. Plus, finally I wrote a scene in this fic that lasted longer than the rape scene. I always felt kind of bad about the longest scene in my fic being a rape scene so this chapter makes me feel a little better.

Now, because I've been writing, I've missed dinner. I'm going to go shove a curry in the microwave and eat that; I can’t go to bed unfed with manual handling and CPR first thing tomorrow - and, in all likelihood, fic-writing in the evening.

Oh God I am so happy. I guess telling myself when I finished Chapter 24 I could rewatch Verbrechen/Strafe was the incentive I needed.
