Writing stuff and English teachers

Oh yeah, it's Friday. Sorry this is so late.

I've been writing a lot this week. And when I say a lot I mean like 4 pages a day. Or something. I've almost finished the first chapter of Robin which is very exciting and I really like how it's turning out. The merchant character became so much more interesting than I had originally planned haha. I think I might write something exclusively about them at some point, because they ha such an interesting personality and there's probably so much stuff there to explore huehue.

Also today I was writing this scene where Robin is talking to Peter about the fight with her mother and shit, y'know she's kinda depressed at this point and yeah, and the scene kept trying to make itself so romantic, like????? What????? WHy????? I don't ship them?? They're not meant to be a couple??? And I swear to god, at one point I was writing it Robin said something like "I'm so tired of it all" or w/e and I almost wrote Peter getting up and starting to give her like a shoulder massage! And I've read enough fanfic to know where that would be going. I don't.. I don't know. Their relationship is kinda... I mean they are and most definitely will stay platonic (although I think there had been some experimenting some years ago) but the relationship has become much deeper and more intimate as I've written scenes with the two of them.... Originally I'd actually planned on making Camilla the person Robin would talk to most out of the three, but Peter made more sense when the time came.

Well that's a lot of text... Point is, I don't know how or when but Robin and Peter's relationship grew into a full blown bromance. And it's probably going to have an impact further down the road. Y'know, initially I was just going to ignore all the people in Lendá after Robin leaves, but I don't think I can do that anymore.

Other exciting news is... uh.. I don't really have other news, sorry. My roster of English teachers from around the world has grown, with the addition of a Canadian (judging by the slight accent) and woman Washington (the state) who I think is some part Native American (at least she really looks like one, y'know the facial features and stuff). So that is several Finnish women (in elementary school and Kallavesi), English woman (Elizabeth), basically-Australian man (Laukkanen was that his name?), old Scottish gentleman (reading/discussion course), old Texan poet (creative writing), not as old Canadian guy (critical reading of the media) and presumably Native American (scientific reading/writing/discussion).

You probably don't care about my roster of English teachers, but it's not like I have anything better to tell you.

I'm going to bed now, bye.

Pie out.

  1. So this is basically what you're going through with the characters?
