Monday all over

The air conditioning company is squeezing us in this morning which is a huge relief, and also I probably won't get anything done for the next 2-4 hours. The unit isn't dead but it was thinking seriously about it, and they had to order a part last week.

And I was thinking about fanfic this morning, and how it makes it possible to do really deep dives into characterization, a writing experience that can carry over to your original work. I used to do a lot of "instead of that thing that happened in canon what would it be like if this happened instead" and playing with how that would change the characters and their relationships, and how that would play out over time. I was just realizing how helpful that kind of character work, which took a lot of thought, was to me in everything else I wrote.
