Month of Misery About the Start

Well...I failed.  First draft isn't done yet.  2 to 3 writing days from finishing, maybe 4 max.  But...pain has still been elevated just enough to keep from getting any kind of on/off routine going.  Won't know how bad and tight the appointments in July will be until Wednesday, maybe Thursday.  Might have a few days before the first MBB procedure to manage it.  Maybe not if the root canal intrudes.  Going to be very tricky.
Been watching Copa and the Euros.  Fucking Team USA!!!  Why can you never be normal!!!  Working my way through Shogun, which is incredible.  Though it's so good I find myself wanting to savior it and not binge.  Such a clash of foreign cultures to each other that it almost works as a time travel story, right?  Can put yourself in Blackthorns shoes.  Hopefully not in place of the guy that got boiled alive though.  Am taking a diversion to quickly binge season 3 of the Bear.  Which has 100% won the Emmy in its category.  Everyone should just give up.  Race is done.  OVER.
Gamewise I'm currently addicted to Cobalt Core.  Which is a deckbuilding Roguelike with a cutsie Sci-Fi story with great gameplay mechanics revolving around board placement.  Totally recommend it if you're into that type of game.  Surprisingly funny.  Made me laugh out loud a few times.

As I planned, I've started rereading FM1 with the idea of going through whole series in the next month to refresh myself on the facts and maybe a bit of inspiration before I get into Edit Hell.  Already found a typo that's somehow existed for over a decade without anyone ever mentioning it.  Outside of that it's so very cringe reading your older work, especially stuff from the very beginning of your career.  I was...like 25, maybe 26 when I wrote this stuff.  Which in writer years is like...you are wearing those inflatable armbands when you get in the pool, child!
Do find myself smiling over the early Ceinwyn/KH scenes, but I'm so beyond better than what I managed in 2010.  Miles and miles and miles.  Like...the Annie B intro scene is extremely rough.  Actually wrote that chapter before the T-Bone one if I recall correctly.  Though the school story was written before anything in the mainline.
And King Henry Price of all people thinking this:

I didn’t say anything witty.  I was never witty before a fight, rarelyduring too.  All business.  Showboaters pissed me off.

It's not how the character has played out AT ALL in the school timeline once I started understanding his psyche.  It's a phrase that might work for 14yo version, not the recent Asylum graduate.  Yes, KH is often a hypocrite, but...mega delusional.  And a mega whiplash moment after writing Seismic Semester, since the levels of trash talk Welf and KH throw at each other in that novel is MASSIVE.  And that's only a bit over a year before the mainline starts.  Oh well, we'll put it down to Old Man King Henry not remembering exactly what he was like then and handwave it away!

So...what's your favorite FM1 moment?
