Writing is frustrating lately. Like really, really frustrating. I've rewritten the same fragment 4 times (5, 6 ?) and I'm still nowhere near happy with it. It's driving me mad, I tell you, mad! I just don't know how to work this thing, which is weird, because I've written many things like this before. I think that the fact that I've never written the POV character before might have something to do with it. I've also been suffering from a slight lack of ideas lately, but I think it's lifting. The rest of the fic is fine; it's just this one scene, really.
I re-watched an episode of Doctor Who to lift my spirits. I'm not sure if it accomplished its purpose, but at least seeing Christopher Eccleston made me smile.

I caught an episode of Dr. Who earlier, but it was the one with David Tennent. I watched it for a bit because I totally thought it was a screen adaptation of one of my favorite books. It was quite odd.

It's Sark. I'm doing a "Seven Sins" thing to get the Sark/Adam ship out of my system, and it was going swell until I got to "lust", which should be easy, but the structuring combined with Sark's inability to make up his mind is driving me crazy. I just worked a bit on it, and I think I got a piece of it somewhat decent, but I'm not holding my breath.
I've only watched two of the Tennant episodes so far. His and Eccleston's styles are quite different, but both are fun, though I miss
ClaudeEccleston.What book is that? I haven't read any books resembling Doctor Who, though Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was pretty wonky. I can't remember it that well, though. It's been a while.

Who doesn't miss Claude?It was The Firebrand by Marion Zimmer Bradley. I guess the Doctor went back in time to the Roman ages or something and some lady was talking about becoming a seer.

You know, a friend of mine who doesn't watch Doctor Who told me yesterday that he happened to see that episode on TV the other day. Interesting coincidence. I haven't gotten to it yet myself, though. I'm still in episode 5 of the second season.

& oh, Sark. Yes, he's rather devilish to write. Though it's always that way when trying out new characters, I find - cough*anyscenesinvolvingPeter*cough*!

New characters are tricky. I remember writing like four versions of the same things when I started with Adam. Actually, the Sark voice was fine until I got to this scene, but I know what's wrong now. I was trying to crunch to mny impressions and emotions into one fragment, since I was trying to keep it short, but I have to widen the scope to make it work. So now it's going to be about twice as long as originally planned. I'm also going to throw in seven of the Virtues.

Like, srsly. Adam/Sark + 7 sins + 7 virtues = win. Just by default. And I'm sure the fact that you can write exceedingly well won't harm it either...
Good luck! <3
Torchwood...well, I still have way too many issues with that series to comment on it objectively. Still, Jack? Jack is cool in it. Different, though. And yes, darker. But not absurdly dark, not like POP Sands of Time to POP Warrior Within where you're left going, "Are we playing the same character?" Do you have any idea what I'm talking about? =P
