The only good thing about the bus part of my hellish commute (hurrah for partial return to office...) is that I get to do a bit of reading (on the non-wibbly bits of road), and I get to stare out the window and noodle over the many plot holes in my fic plans.

And finally, finally, just yesterday, I've managed to work out how Kili uncovers a huge secret in Traveller. I had a plan for how it would happen, but I wasn't that happy with it and it's been bugging me for literally years. Ever since I planned out this ridiculously long (but very fun to write) sequel.

Am I 100% happy with it now? No. But I'm much happier, and I've a lot of plot to draft between now and then so it'll be ok.

And I thought of some banger (in my head anyway) lines for a huge argument in Ness and Fili's future! Hurrah! They're scribbled in my phone now and I really must transfer them all to my gdocs before I can never find them again when I eventually go looking.

I'm in a bit of a partial writer's block situation at the moment, and the only fic I've found that I've been able to work on is my rewrite of Traveller (which is taking forever because I tend to only go to it when I'm stuck on everything else)

Anyway, I've just finished the rewrite of chapters 21 and 22 of the original. Yay!

But the combined wordcount of the original chapters 21 and 22 was 5529 words.

The combined wordcount of the 'revised' chaps 21 and 22 is.....29252 words.

Which is bad. Or good, because I'm having fun. But mainly bad, because the original version of Traveller was already a 200k fic without me more than tripling the wordcount.

But at least I'm making progress somewhere, I suppose! And I know the writers block will pass, it always does eventually. It's just annoying that its hit me properly on the editing side too this time.

Dwarves eat heavy, meat-and-ale-centric meals twice or thrice a day, which completely disrupts Bilbo’s internal clock for seven meals. At first, Bilbo sneaks down to the royal kitchens at midnight to make himself proper tea and toast. Eventually, Thorin starts joining him. The King under the Mountain, who carries the weight of an entire nation on his shoulders by day, finds his ultimate solace sitting on a small wooden stool in the dim kitchen light, quietly watching Bilbo fuss over the perfect temperature for chamomile tea and teaching him how to cut cheese "the proper Shire way"
