Ah, that second sentence... Ha ha ha the memories they burn...

ANYWAY! I've struggled a bit with deciding on outfits for this storyline, and might wind up making more Anachronistie And Finch jokes to make it seem intentional and clever.

Which I'm pretty sure would make Anachronistie and Finch the longest running clothing chain in all of history, so good for it!

Writer's Block

I struggled so much with Cinderella-Tedd's introduction. I kept thinking and thinking, and getting nowhere.

Then I tried actually writing to see what happened, and pretty much all this spilled out.

I mean, not EXACTLY this. Tedd's rambling thoughts especially got edited down to half as long and twice as comprehensible, but it was BASICALLY this.

So, um... Old lesson relearned: Sometimes you defeat Writer's Block BY WRITING, because things can occur to you while writing that might not occur to you while just thinking.

Actually, a thought genuinely just occurred to me. It's not just computers that try to predict the next word in a sentence. We do that, too, even if we're not conscious of it.

Can writing one's way out of writer's block work because our minds try to predict what comes next, and sometimes that's enough to keep the writing ball rolling?

Does that explain how the heck otters got involved in this comic?! Because I don't know how they got there!
