Muse grumbling

I need to tag old threads.

I want to write up an OOM to get Mulan started on her Realm hoping.

Am I doing either of these? No, I am goofing off on Tumblr. OK, time to outline Mulan's time in Oz, so I have an idea of what I'm to write, and then tag threads. I'd tag threads first but then I know I'd ignore Mulan.

ETA: I think I might just steal elements of Return to Oz or Oz the Great and Powerful.

ETAA: And it occurs to me I should use these OOMs as a sort of character quest for Mulan, to get her to a place where she will realize how much Aurora means to her and that she should be honest with her feelings when next they met.

( OK, time for a cut... )

BTW

 If you enjoyed Pamela Dean's Tam Lin, I *highly* recommend you check out Lies and Prophecy by Marie Brennan.

And work rears its head

 Of course I am trying to be creative and so work slaps me upside the head with several projects.

Still, have a few more ideas for Mulan. The dragon Mushu is now Ming-Yue and will have been the dragon she got the whisker which was forged into her sword. I think he will follow Mulan on her quest and maybe even put her on it since she turned her back on love. I blame the idea on this gif set. Ming-yue will of course be a shape shifter and have no trouble traveling between realms.

Tonights progress

Managed a walk at work, despite the timing of some rush jobs. Didn't manage any tags though. I think I am going to start setting aside 15 minutes in the mornings and evenings to reply to tags. This way I at least get some forward progression in threads and don't just drop them.

Came home from work and cleaned out the fridge of bad food. Then put away the clean dishes and washed what was in the sink. Next I changed the bird papers before finally hitting the wall. Decided to drink my dinner (a protein shake with kale, not alcohol) and then sat to try and piece together my patience again. The bird of course was being a needy bug while I was trying to be a functioning adult, which fries my circuits.
