Re-read a big chunk of #HeraldPetrel on the train and, oh, man, it still needs editing, even if most are minor typos. Made a lot of notes. #AmEditing #WritingCommunity #LastFewMeters npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x He wasn't.

We got a meeting next week and I can already see us silently signaling to stay on afterwards so we can nerd out together... npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET Today I found out that there is actually one colleague on the other side of the world who is also a Whovian and I can't tell you how insanely happy that makes me! 😌 💙 💙 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub16uc…k62q Thank you! :11111: npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1arr…uugh I see you get me! 😂 🤜 🤛 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1arr…uugh EXACTLY! Only that today I should do something if I want to travel next weekend and don't want to be in a last-minute-stress next Friday. Oh, wait. I will, won't I?😂 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET Is this the tidy-the-house Sunday that so far has been about doing nothing to the house and instead saw a DW rewatch? Yes, yes, it is... npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x Hahaha, oh, yes, certainly the Pilfrey age! Not quite his personality, though, although he can be a dumbass just as well. And: you'd bet, you'd bet! npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET So I won't be able to update #YouAreNeeded on Sunday and I am still at the darkest place I can remember the last 2 years or so. Just posting that to say don't worry, I'll be back but I have to somehow figure that out with no headspace for it and needing to contact people who will remind me of my former life so it will be extra hard on top of it. Wish me luck, please. 2/2 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET I know I said I wouldn't be around much but another thing happened with my second edition with my non-fiction thing which means I will have to work far more on it than originally thought. Images got lost so not only permissions must be obtained again but also people must provide files again and chances are those don't exist anymore so I have to source new ones somehow and also recreat a great deal of graphs. All that while I thought it was just the last editing round. Deadline the 15th 1/2 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1ek8…t2en Yeah, I know!

But life has been a bit wild lately so I didn't feel ready for something new. I rewatch old comfort episodes instead.😅 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x Wow, beautifully written indeed!

And of course them then always being able to shed responsibility because they can honestly say they didn't know what their minions were up about.. npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1ek8…t2en @npub1vnc…930t What's your theory on who shot (or better commanded to shoot) Ash?

A CRIME!!😡 Wasn't there an account at the other place who used to post about current event with "before the S10 soundtrack was released"😂 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1cz0…wk5s Yeah, same. Truly messed with my brain! He truly cares about Lisa - which in return tells us how far down he must have come that giving her drugs is the only way to make sure she survives. He even lets his usual scheming slip aside for it and that tells a lot. Woah, yeah, there has to be a Glasgow story in there as well.😱 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1cz0…wk5s I think the parakeet remark was kinda racist, kinda the "the boat is full" rhetoric. Not a grown-ass nazi, but the kind of every day racist. And, yeah, we have them, too. Escaped from the local zoo some 30 years back. npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1cz0…wk5s Yeah, tbf I had Tony on the screen as the most rotten one of them, simply because of the mechanics of "but he is the disabled one, he can't be the major baddie" and I would have had absolutely the urge to play with that stereotype and put it upside down. But I hadn't thought they would catch him because he trolled. npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1cz0…wk5s Agreed, he absolutely won't let anybody know about this. My personal take is that it probably wasn't even torture as such, that he has just offered Errol that he will make sure his son gets a good upbringing in exchange for the confession. Also probably planting false memories into his brain while visiting the crime scene. npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1cz0…wk5s Yeah, full marks for the drug things for me, too. Wrong on some other things (like his side hussle). Yeah, there is a terrible, tragic story there. Probably his wife has committed suicide? npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1cz0…wk5s I guess it depends on how much they dismantle him. So far, i feel he is not completely "naked" and I wonder if it stays that way. npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1cz0…wk5s She's such a great character, too. I have this inkling that perhaps Hagerty has started off in a similar way (not subject to racism and misogynie, of course). Just bending the law and the policies a little bit to do good. Then got entangled... Life and care for others coming in between... npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1cz0…wk5s Oh. Oooooh... But I think he is just too good of an antagonist to let go of him. At least, I couldn't if I had created such a complex personality as a writer.😂 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1cz0…wk5s EXACTLY! 😬 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1cz0…wk5s @npub1765…xh0x I think so, yes. if Hagerty is not too deep caught in the network he might use his intelligence and contacts to go out of it like teflon. And I can see a Season 2 with the sub-arc of his daughter. So, yeah, I think they will be pitched against each other again. And, like you said, they both use "unconventional" methods so this might just as well end in a draw between them. npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1cz0…wk5s @npub1765…xh0x As far as I heard there is a potential for a Season 2 if it is successful enough. I mean, it is Elaine Collins, she has a track record with Shetland, so my hopes are high! npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1cz0…wk5s @npub1765…xh0x Indeed! "That's not a denial" and now I THINK Hegarty will confess the torturing while I am absolutely SURE he won't, if it makes sense.😆 And I like that, too. Gives you something to look forward to and obsess about for a whole week. Just like oldenday TV.😂 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1d62…tshf @npub1cz0…wk5s @npub1765…xh0x As you should!

It would make the world a much better place.🥹🥰 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET Alex would probably give Lix lingerie in certain hopes.😬 #PennedPossibilities 171 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET Today was a classic how my brain works (spoiler: it doesn't): Me: we need to tidy the house so we can leave for a week and we already slept in, so today is our last chance and we really will need to make it a tour de force. 4 hours the morning, lunch break, 4 hours the afternoon so we have the evening for comfort book. Vamos! My brain: okay. 1 hour later: Me is cuddling with the tomcat on the sofa, reading a comfort book for the next 10 hours.🙄 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1yse…jaay I think all Skies would be great at Christmas decoration. And together with a Moon they could totally build a badass snowman, I reckon. 🤔 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET Randall: "Why building something out of something that is melting away?" Lix: "Because it's fun. Come on, don't be a curmudgeon!" <later> R: "How can you tell it is a snow man and not a woman?" L: "You're right, let me fetch another carrot." *Randall blushes deep red* R:"No!" L: "Shall we build a snow woman, now?" R: "No!" L: "Okay, the tree, then." R: "I don't even dare asking what ornaments you have..." *Lix smiles seductively, nodding slightly downward* Inspired by @npub18fp…qc3u 's answer. npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET No, I haven't ever thrown out the first chapter or rewritten it completely, #WordWeavers 21 It is where my story starts. The first line is the one that will pull the reader and myself into the action and/or the world. I often have this line and then give extra thought on what will happen in this crucial chapter and perhaps that is why I never had to rewrite or throw out one. Even in my throw-away fanfiction I don't see any where the first chapter isn't essentially where the story HAS to start. npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET It is more the question what DOESN'T make Galahad give up. If it was just between him and his God he doesn’t believe in, he would have killed himself years ago, after Aretha's death. But he feels she wouldn't approve and also, there's Raffi and what will become of her when he isn't her boss anymore? I mean, she will do brilliant, he is sure of that but somehow he doesn’t want to leave her behind, wondering if she could have prevented it. So he keeps going. #WordWeavers 20 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x Oh. Ooooooh! npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET Randall wouldn't object a hike in the snow. He likes hiking. Only problem is, like with everything, he likes to do it to the extreme. He might just walk... and keep on walking... and walking... and walking. In the snow this can be terribly dangerous. Lix would be annoyed by the idea but if she knows Randall went for a hike in the snow she would absolutely go out and find him so he doesn't just collapse and she would bring him back. #PennedPossibilities 168 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1ek8…t2en @npub1fgm…lxxq @npub18nm…csf0 @npub1txn…l8m2 @npub1r27…yfqy @npub1egt…6c76 @npub1vnc…930t Thank you! 😊 And indeed, you could say dissociation is his superpower. He couldn't have done what he did until now if he wasn't able to pull his mind from the pain like that.🥺 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1yse…jaay I love it. I am glad to see Gennie an East again. Now I am looking forward how it unfolds! npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1ek8…t2en @npub1fgm…lxxq @npub18nm…csf0 @npub1txn…l8m2 @npub1r27…yfqy @npub1egt…6c76 @npub1vnc…930t Randall is in complete dissociation. Only good that Lix deals okay with it even if she didn't understand. The scene was much sweeter in my head but turned out that young Lix has some serious anger management issues when someone hurt someone she cares about.😂 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1yse…jaay Ugh. I hope so. Thank you! Doesn't feel like it, but does it ever? *hugs back* npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1k4e…4d28 I get you on the RL right-wing nutjobs. It literally hurts to go inside those brains as a writer. 😬 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET I love creating unhinged monsters as well as antagonists who you will absolutely sympathize with as soon as you know the backstory. For me that's the difference between a villain and an antagonist and both are interesting to write. I tend to write a complex, non-individualized system as the main villain and have antagonists with redeemable qualities within it but I do love to throw in a maniac ever now and then, often with an askew understanding of their belief system/religion. #WordWeavers 19 https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/111/606/899/969/866/986/original/81807407a23fcb06.png npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET Alex would kiss whoever is available under the mistletoe. He isn't picky when it comes to this. #PennedPossibilities 167 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET At the beginning of #HeraldPetrel Captain Galahad isn't even interested in a future. He is just functioning. For him, his past was wonderful, when he still had Aretha by his side. Sometimes Raffi manages to cheer him up and he actually enjoys life for a few hours but the future just doesn't play a role for him. Will that change throughout the story? Perhaps?🤔 #WordWeavers 18 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET I thought I wouldn't manage to have it ready for Monday since much was going on, but I did. Have a new chapter of "Strengths" titles "Mojo Rojo". https://archiveofourown.org/works/48775423/chapters/132436474 And don't worry replying, I know it is a busy time of year.

But I need the feeling it isn't completely gone. Someone said recently that the cut bits leave traces in the final story that are needed and wouldn't be there if you hadn't originally written more and I love the thought. npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1r27…yfqy @npub1euu…dgnk Well said!👏 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET I've removed a lot of scenes from stories, especially when I realized upon re-read that it was just myself giving advice to myself. But I've never removed one of my favorite scenes. It is my story so you all have to suffer the insufferable cheese with me! #WordWeavers 17 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET Randall has seen this in movies and heard about it in songs. He theoretically thinks it looks nice but practically he doubts that there will ever be a "special someone" for him. Who would love a weird, obsessed, fidgety photographer, anyway? Lix likes the sound of that. It sounds like just the thing to relax and get all the thoughts about war out of her head. Doesn't need to stay just cuddling. #PennedPossibilities 165 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1r27…yfqy Yeah, something along this lines. I am the "professional" who is confident and witty, then. Funny thing is I feel comfortable with that role. But me be being expected to "human"? Like going out for drinks? That scares me. It usually pans out, but I prefer going with just one person. Probably something similar to your experience, only that I always was bullied by groups of people so always wait for them to do that again while I feel I can outsmart just one if need be. npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1r27…yfqy Yeah, or that I have less problems speaking in front of 100+ people than actually meeting two people. That one is fine usually because I can fully focus on them but a small group of people overwhelms me. npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1r27…yfqy Some years ago, I went to a therapist. On the second meeting I told the lady flat out "don't try this mindfulness bullsh*t on me, it irks me to no end". It was the last time I visited because she insited it would help me. Help me my arse. Found another one who was really good. Then he died. Story of my life. 🤷 😂 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET The #WordWeavers 16 question implies that Sinclair has a plan. But he hasn't. He is just following his principles and makes his reality fit them. So, the question is more: is there anybody capable making him questioning his principles? As a romantic, I think that IF he fell in love, that person could make him waver. But the society he was raised in denies mating with anyone who isn't from Porta and since there is no one from Porta on the #HeraldPetrel and those values are his principles...🤷 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET I accidentally replied to 162 for the MC, so I am fixing this now. As a former catholic, Alex used to celebrate Easter and Christmas. It were the two dates that reminded him that there is something else than just risking your life without getting any recognition of his services. Nowadays he doesn't celebrate anything except maybe that he survived the day in the evening. #PennedPossibilities 162 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET Alex: "Dear..." *crosses line out, takes sip of Whisky* "My dearest..." *downs whole glass* *re-reads line* *scrunches up paper* "I can't do that! I can't! There is nothing I am thankful for. I am what I am because of me. Because I made it until here because of me and no one else. You can't make me do that! You can't! No one can!" *stomps off* #PennedPossibilities 163 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET Randall doesn't really like to celebrate. It seems useless to him to celebrate for example Christmas as a festivity of peace when the world is at war. Lix celebrates whatever there is to celebrate. Christmas, Chanukah, Eid al-Fitr, saint's day, birthdays, weddings, ... she takes all of them and tries to enjoy as much as she can. "We might all die tomorrow" is her motto and she lives by it. #PennedPossibilities 162 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1ek8…t2en @npub1r27…yfqy @npub1psm…2ne9 Yep- And has done the artwork!

All the artwork of Alj will be in there, kind of like dividers between the parts. npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub16uc…k62q Well said!💙 💙 npub18g7w4d68nla25cxmnxx89qvkddzm8hcmfe47pqfx5745t6hzpp4qxu6mt2 Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET @npub1765…xh0x @npub1ek8…t2en @npub1r27…yfqy @npub1psm…2ne9 Jup. I only have to fix a couple of things (nothing big, mainly speaking tags) and then give it to the editor one more time and then it should be good to go. And then you can have it in real paper.😊
