Bangs, Cars, Wings

tangerinerMy writing list, which used to be four things longs, is now just one thing long. I managed to get my two exchange fic submitted on time -- and I quite like them both -- and then, in four days, managed to completely write one of my ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
marvel_bangs, final word count a little under 20k. I have been thinking about the story all year -- since last year's bang -- but that is fast even for me. I guess my brain (soul) really wanted the story to be told? /shrug
I feel confident I can get bang #2 written in draft form by the rough draft deadline for claims. I am 600 words into it. The plot is even thinner than bang #1 so should move along quickly.

I went to the mall, to return some clothes, and while I was walking away from my car noticed that my bummer looked a little... off. Upon closer inspection, SOMEONE HIT MY CAR. Uggggggghhhhh, whhhhyyyyyy. I have no idea when it happened, except it must have been recently. I'm never on that side and it looks fine from the front. The paint transfer looks white and red.
I pushed the bumper back on, but my wheel well cover is outside the bumper instead of in, and I can't fix it myself. I'm so mad, and annoyed, and uggghhhh. It's not like the car isn't fourteen years old and scratched to shit anyway, but it's principle of the thing! Someone hit my car!
~~
I have watched so many episodes of Hot Ones recently. Dozens. My body is now convinced it can handle hot wings (spoiler alert: it cannot), and it's been weirdly helpful for getting into the mood for writing smoother dialogue (which does not always come naturally to me).
