Writing and exams.

So, my exams start next Saturday. I'm getting through the stress by designating a couple of hours from about 10pm until midnight to just blobbing out and writing. This hasn't gone too well as I've been attempting to do the June Fic_on_demand daily fic challenge, which has resulted in some really crappy ficlets being submitted. There is only so much that can be written in a couple of hours =)
Today I've been less strict with my studying, and worked a little on the Hogwarts!Saiunkoku AU. It's such a fun universe to work in, and I just love busybody Kouyuu. He's currently pulling out all the stops in an attempt to save Seiran from Kochou, with Ensei and Shuuei going along with it all because chibi!Kouyuu is too cute to resist when he gets all worked up about something. I really wish I was a better writer than I am, because there is this one scene between Ensei and Seiran that just plays out perfectly in my head, but I'm having a really difficult time capturing it on paper. It would be easier if I was one of those people who plots/visualize a story in words, but I rely very heavily on mental imagery. I find it VERY difficult to translate that into words.
It does help, however, that I have a new muse to sit on my computer table next to Fat Arsed Wombat (my usual muse and study mate). Yay, thank-you Grey! You are made of awesome. He is very cute.

I'm glad he arrived safely! And, um, I hope he is satisfactory. I seem to remember you posting something about wanting that kind of thing and being unable to make one on your own . . . at least I think that was you . . .
