ladybug_archive | **falls over.**

I am getting so tired of sleeping for four and a half hours and then waking up without being able to go back to sleep! -___-;

I finally finished my chapter, so I'm getting more confident about being able to read things. Hopefully I can catch up on replying to entries and such.

And I was just reminded that I need to finish The Diamond Rose Glass. XD Which I really want to do, but can't seem to get back to ever since realizing part of what I had planned for the climax won't work. **headdesk.** Very discouraging. But hmm.... Maybe now that my tornado chapter's done, I can get The Diamond Rose Glass out and look it over. X3

It's amusing how rusty early fics in a fandom can sound. **would like to redo some things in her early FF7 fics, such as A New Beginning.** And I was thinking about fictional Elliott's characterization in my Carmen fics. He was really tense and short-tempered in those first few stories. I added other things here and there, like his clumsiness in the second fic, but I don't think it was until I heard Kingdom of Shy and wrote You Won't Be So Far Away that I really started figuring out how I wanted to write him---sweet and shy, but with a righteously indignant streak that flares up when his friends are being hurt. And of course, he's more intelligent than season 3 portrayed him as being. XD;

Sean was actually a bit of a puzzle to me too at first, but I think I was able to figure him out by the end of Walk Like an Egyptian. XD;
