Well… I think I am slowing down. Probably because the first half of this chapter is all about Brienne losing her virginity, even if I’m not going to let the characters get that far (they don’t know that), and it needs to be done with sensitivity, while still being quite hot. It’s enjoyable, but kind of hard work to strike the right balance, and God only knows if I’m managing to get the characterisation right as well on top, bearing in mind the small changes in developement I’ve put them through so far, especially her. It’s using all the fanfic writing brain I’ve got left. And I’ve go even less of that left than normal brain.

In other news, I saw the biggest spider in my life at work this morning. It was one of those. You know… handbag sized. Like a small dog.

Well, I have that first part done, and it’s like 2,500 words, so I’m thinking whether to post it as two chapters, because the second part is likely to be much longer, since there’s a lot more manipulation involved. Hmm… I think that’s what I’ll do, which means I’ll just have a go at checking over Clegane’s word choices and his swearing, then I’ll begin the series of read throughs. That’ll probably take it up to about 3000 words. I don’t know why, but editing never seems to lose words for me, only adds them.
