I was watching a reaction video for "Chernobyl" when the hosts said they didn't know anything about the actual event. OMG, I said, where the hell were you? It was a major international event!

They were five at the time. FIVE!

They're adults! With kids! Good lord, way to make me feel old.

Chapters 1 and 2 of "Hill House Five" are online. I'm trying to squelch my "everyone hates this and hates me and I'm a terrible writer" panic by reminding myself:

-I've only been setting up the people and location so far and I've got one more chapter of that before I can get to the good stuff.

-I'm writing about a Classic Who Doctor and not even a popular one at that. The readership was always going to be small.

-"The Haunting of Hill House" TV series fandom is TINY. Currently there's only 148 works in AO3, so again, a small potential readership.


I'm not too worried, this kind of panic is always the first stage of me writing anything that's not a drabble. The next stage is "fuck it, I'm writing this for me," which is always liberating.

Yesterday I did some outlining for the next few chapters so I have more of a clue where things are going. I also wrote 733 words, which isn't a lot but is better than nothing.
