Cinderella - 06 - HD
🕑 Added 2024-12-28 04:29:41 +0000 UTCCinderella-Tedd! Except not "Cinderella" yet
Something something witty joke I'm blanking on what to put here so I'm just typing so y'all can have the announcement of a new EGSNP ASAP OK? Okay.
Commentary
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!

Otters were always in this comic, you just didn't realize. You accidentally built this comic on an ancient otter burial ground. But don't worry, they don't want vengeance or anything. They just didn't get to play enough in life.

That second sentence hits me in the feel so much. You said it better than I ever could. The memories do burn.

That sounds like an absolute win!

Mental autocomplete is a well-known linguistic feature. Not sure whether it really helps with writer's block though. But then mine is mainly caused by getting side-tracked constantly.

I read that otters do great manicure and pedicure. At least in certain superhero fiction. ^_^

It's been a while since we had a good old fashioned Otter TF, so I think we're due TEDD!

Occurs to me that honorary aunt might be Lavendar.
