I posted the last part of the current chapter of my Harry/Draco WIP yesterday night. Go me! 

Now all I've got to do is write the last chapter. Yeah. *blinks*

Yay, it's back! That was well worth the wait - I love how torn Harry is here between so many different things he wants, and Draco's assessment of Hermione was great :)

I hope you don't mind me commenting here instead of on the site, but I recently had to change my ff.net username because of RL reasons, and you wouldn't have known it was me! :)

I don't mind at all! I'm happy that this last bit of the chapter worked for you. It's difficult to decide what to put in that particular fic these days; I'm constantly worried that in spite of my many words I fail to actually say something. *sighs* It's brainfog, it must be!

If it's any consolation, I'm currently struggling with the next chapter of Seven Days in June, and I feel the same way - I think I've re-written every sentence in the current scene at least three times by now...

Commiseration is always welcome. Makes one feel less alone! :) The strange thing is, when I look at the chapter now, it doesn't feel wordy at all - on the contrary: It feels rushed and a bit choppy. Odd, that!

Anyway...

I'm sorry to hear that Seven Days is giving you a hard time. What seems to be the problem?

It felt neither rushed nor chopped to me!

Re: SDiJ, I think it has to do with Harry's character - the scenes with Draco almost write themselves (it's harder to make these two shut up than to make them talk), but whenever I have a scene with Harry alone (like right now), where he needs to think about what's happening and come to terms with his feelings about the situation, writing is like pulling teeth. The boy is just so much better at action than at reflection...

- Thank you! That's comforting to know!

If your Harry is even just a tad bit like mine, his brain will work better when he's moving or doing something with his hands - no, nothing naughty! I'm thinking of yardwork or work around the house. Of course the possibilities are limited in a hotel room, but maybe he needs to iron his clothes. Or do exercises (situps, pushups, yoga - whatever). Something that requires a certain concentration but lets the mind wander anyway.

Or is the difficulty to pinpoint what he might be reflecting about?

Yes, something like that :)

He's travelling at the moment, so there isn't that much for him to do - but by now, I've reached the point where I can torture him with local cuisine, which is much more fun to write ;)

Austrian cuisine - that's torture, indeed, because it is so good that you don't know what to eat first and because you can only eat so much.

Congratulations! *hugs*

I haven't found the time to look at your fic so far, but I'm looking forward to reading it soon. :-)

Now all I've got to do is write the last chapter.

Yay! Go for it!

Thank you! "Found" is clearly a beginner's fic, but it's dear to my heart because it's the first thing I've written in over 20 years and my first attempt at writing something other than school papers in English. Personally, I like the second half (chapter 9 and up) much better than the first. Chapter 9 actually has a reference to your icon - sort of. ;D
