Mmm, yeah, ok, I am going through a Sarah McLachlan phase. Or maybe just a slow, soothing music phase. While I'm on the computer, anyway. This song is making me want to work on Seeds of Love. Hehe... I'm almost finished with Aya and Youji's first scene. Not much happened in it, but I'm going to try and finish the scene with a word-picture from Youji's point of view, of Aya sitting in the clearing with the waterfall behind him, surrounded by sunlight. Mmm... couldn't you just see how his hair would look?

Yes, I have this thing about red hair. Shouldn't that be obvious by now?

This fic has a focus on imagery. It's important to get things right. Like, Ken's impression of the Fujimiya manor house, or the first impression of the waterfall scene. Then, Youji's viewing of Aya while he's trying to get his words out on paper, and later on, Ken's view of Omi while he is reading those same words. The imagery is important, because if you can't *see* those things, then a lot of the impact from the fic is lost.

I hope I can do all right. Description has been one of my biggest weaknesses, since I can't seem to elaborate enough on things.

Ah well...

I've also been thinking a lot about the first kiss scenes between the couples in this fic. They're going to have to be artfully arranged, because the first kiss means a lot in this case. Aya and Youji's will be deliberate, of course, but no less important. I want people to read it and just be like 'wow'. And maybe I won't be able to make it *that* good, but it at least has to sound beautiful. Same with Ken and Omi's... even though it is accidental, I do *not* want it to be humorous. However, neither of them will be talking about it afterwards - what it means, or anything. Obviously their romance is inevitable... but they're developing things at a tentative pace.

Bah. I talk too much. This was supposed to be a short entry.
