"I aim for pointless stubbornness." "I noticed."

Wordcount: 630
Scenes: Shut up, I'm not talking to you right now. Go away! Not listening...

I think I finally figured out why I've been finding these scenes so exiling hard to write. It's Because this whole little plot excursion is essentially pointless. It does not contribute to the main plot in any way other than cheap emotion, and is basically an excuse for me to kill some of my favourite characters. Having seen people die in real life now, I'm not as enthusiastic about this idea as I was when I thought it up, a year and a half ago. So this bit is the first thing that I'm cutting when I edit it. *nods* That's about it! I must finish it though. SO CLOSE TO THE END.

At least you figured it out, that is yayful.

*pokes pointless plot threads* Shears at the ready... when you finish the draft. ;)

Actually, now this is way more fun, cause I'm gonna cut it, so I can go all dark and emotionless. ^_^ *beams*
