Struggled a bit with writing this week, which I think is mostly due to the chapter I was working on for HDBB. I'm starting to get a bit worried because this fic deals with some heavy themes, and right now I'm not hitting quite the right emotional notes. Which is the kind of thing I often finesse in edits, and I much prefer to bang out a (very) rough complete draft before beginning edits, but with longer works I sometimes find I need to chunk things out because if I'm too sloppy with the earlier bits, it just gets rockier and rockier as I go. Not quite at a point where I need to pause and start editing to firm up the foundation, but it's a possibility I'm keeping in mind if I continue to struggle through the next few chapters.
