More anime review.

.hack/Roots gets to stay. Assuming another fansubber picks it up--I snagged the HQ version from LuPerry and it's very jerky, to the point that /I/ notice it. Za Warudo, who I got the first episode from, though, did a very nice job. Was also very amused by the ED. It's by Ali Project and it sounds exactly like Rozen Maiden OPs and EDs. The World has gotten darker and a touch more... industrial, perhaps?... in this version of the game.

Word count

Have started in again on the novel. Word count for the day: 1,532. Total word count: 64,465. A bit less than I wanted for the day, but I'm working again and past that bloody scene with the dragons. The problem with writing this story is I've set up this universe fairly fully and I think it feels like it. I've got side-stories and back-stories for everything I'm putting in or even just hinting at. But I keep running across more people and more cultures and having to write for them as well.... I think (hope) that the dragons are the last subset I need to worry about developing and interacting with. Because I've kind of already dealt with the Fey so they're set in this world. It's just the initial contact that's hard on me, I think. And while I know there're a lot of things I need to ask for help with once I finish and get to editing stages (like horses. and weapons. and whether this whole thing makes sense outside of my head), I like writing this story. I like where it's going and where it ends up leading me.

Even if I only have a vaguest of mental outlines for "oh, I think /this/ should maybe happen soon."
