I've been thinking a lot about the post-HBP writing world. After reading HBP I was kind of in a zone for awhile, and to even think about tLS was nearly impossible.
I'm happy to say that I've finally come back to tLS in my head. I reread the last ten chapters, which helped get me back into the thought pattern of it. Last week I spent some time there at work, but more importantly, yesterday at work I really zoomed around a bit within the story in my head, and a couple of plot points showed up out of nowhere that were surprising and, more importantly, perfect. So I am absolutely giddy with delight to finally finish the chapter 69 (which has been half-done for some time) and, more importantly, begin chapter 70, which will turn out to be probably the longest and most important chapter so far. I'm so excited to write the new things in.
Will I incorporate HBP? Hm. I may slip a few things in, just little details. Also, I was thinking about revising the ending to bring it into line with HBP, but I have decided firmly against it. I'm just going to end it as originally planned.
So another twenty chapters, at the most, will see the conclusion of this tale. I think.
I have a show tomorrow-Friday-Saturday so there will be no writing...in fact, the last place I should be is on this computer...however, after that I have a lot of time free (especially because the surgery is Wednesday and I took the rest of the week off), so I am really planning on getting some things written.
*more tLS
*the eleven drabbles I promised two months ago
*a challenge piece for quirky
*more tLS
*this crazy one-shot that originated in a dream I had (seriously), which I think will work into
arsenicjade's h/c fest
I want to write, my hands are itching to, but must craft first.

Date: 2005-08-04 10:27 am (UTC)After HBP I really was depressed and couldn't see how I could return to tLS without feeling weird, but now I have managed to delineate HBP!Snape and tLS!Snape and I think I can do it.
Oh, thank! :)
