allanaI think I need to become nocturnal. My urges to write seem to crop up around about midnight and I know that if I go to bed and force myself to sleep, that I'll never remember the good stuff in the morning. So, here I am, with 500 words or so, of the final part of the Manipulation Trilogy written.

Can you spot the pattern there? My mind is currently a very odd place. I'm trying really hard to wrap this up in a mature way; I don't want to throw in gratuitous violence and sex for no reason and then end on a happy-clappy note. Actions have consequences and they should be shown, even if they are entirely fictional. I've drifted into the realm of writing stories that are designed to make people think. This seems to be reflected in the reviews I've received; some are very squealy superficial things which don't even get the obvious shit right, but others are much more insightful. Actually, most of that comes from chatting, but yeah. Thinking. Yay.
Huh, 726 words now. Fuck, this is just pouring out....
Anyway, it has to end right. I think I've put a decent amount of build-up and hints as to the nature of the relationship into the previous two; just enough, not a spoon-feeding amount suitable for kids. I'm terrified that I'll fuck it all up. I think this is the problem with a trilogy - you have ending anxiety and pressure too, as you've built up expectations.
Also, as I'm talking about porn and RPS quite a lot, I am contemplating setting up a filter for those kinds of posts. If you're on my friends list and you don't want this sort of thing popping up almost daily, leave me a comment and I'll set up a filter to spare your eyes. I don't want folks bleaching their brains to get rid of squicky stuff!
This ramble was brought to you courtesy of too little sleep.
