starlights

a while ago, i had an impending deadline, but not much inspiration to write. i picked a prompt based off a movie for renmin ff, a movie which i really really liked, but the process of writing the fic wasn't as smooth as i thought it would be. at first, i thought that since i had a lot of material to work with, it couldn't be that hard, right?

i was absolutely wrong, but i have no one to blame but myself. i do better with prompt based fic fest because it gives me a direction, a start, something to focus, and most of all, a deadline. the problem this time, was, of course, myself. i got too caught up in trying to insert my  characters in the movie, in trying to give them good enough motivations to fit the narrative and the plot. i think i lost my own love for the prompt somewhere along the way.
