Obviously a part of his grand master plan to delay you with your praise of him.
It's hard to really explain how much him pointing that out did for me. It seems so small, right? What does it matter if an omake gets a city name wrong?
But... I can get pretty worked up about this stuff lol. When I got the idea in my head that it was SF breach and not LA I had just finished writing a major scene in SF using SFO, highway 101 -- these by name, not "the airport" or "a street." And, I mean, I've been to SF a couple times -- MRW I first saw the inside of SFO I literally said, word for word, "holy shit, this is what a civilized country looks like" -- and so I'm thinking to myself, okay, where's this thing I saw and can I call this other thing by its name? And I'm going on google maps and I wanted a street somebody might take from SFO up to downtown, and I came up with highway 101, which I've been on before. And the whole time I sorta have the city in the back of my head, partly because of google maps, and I'm getting used to "I'm writing this scene in this big city, there's a lot of traffic so the timestamps come farther apart, I've been IN that traffic I was in that traffic four, five months ago." And eventually I end up deciding what adjectives I'm going to use for the view of the city from above.
And right after all of that, I went and I looked at the last post and read that typo, and I was like, "WHAT? BUT, BUT -- WTF!" It really took the wind out of my sails. I've never been to LA in my life, I've never given a photo of LA a good look in my life, I don't know jack shit about LA. And if I shouldn't have been using SF because there was a breach there, then I would have had to use LA, and it really kinda killed me for a while. That was when I stopped writing last night.
Right up until Avalanche was like "WUT? Nononnonono."
I literally went and wrote an entire scene right after he posted that I was so relieved.
Anyway, I just have to figure out what I'm doing with the one arc, whether it needs one scene or two, idk. Whether or not the people from it come out alive. Stuff like that. Three major scenes and an epilogue, I already know how to write two of three and I kinda know what the epilogue looks like. With a bit of luck... Some time between 4 and 5, CST. Maybe.
