I just finished my Sheppard HC secret Santa fic! But writing it kind of made me miss the show and all the wacky adventures. There were so many possibilities that could have been explored. Yes, there is fanfic, but I miss actually seeing the team in action.
On another writing front, I'm over 18,000 words into my new original story and really enjoying it. I'm having a little trouble getting a handle on one of my main characters, who's a ten year old girl. But the more I write the more I'm starting to figure her out. Still, writing kids is hard, especially when they're the POV character. I've had to adjust my style a little in order to balance writing the way I normally do and keeping the little girl a little girl. The real tricky part, though, is... well... keeping the little girl a little girl: making her smart enough to keep up with the situation but without her ending up an overly precocious little brat who gets away with everything. Still, it's an interesting challenge.
