because now some likely to be deleted fragments for "Excuse me!" exist.
status of the chapter: frustrating
problem: is there a reception area/desk/office/whatever at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? And if so, where is it? how does it look??? what are the protocols, the... aaaargh! (I hate to make up stuff like that! I know US cop films, I know German police films, I never watched something like that depicting Tokyo's police... *sigh*)
futile research of today: see above
successful research of today: Japanese ID structures, passports & co.

I did the elegant solution.
Find a way to avoid place detail: different pov. Works.

Smart idea!

it works. it can be turned into a great scene.
my problem yesterday was that what I had would also have been a great scene, if the required additional info had been available, so I was kind of mad at myself.

but then, writing the last fifth of a long fic is always a frustrating process. so much to say, so little space left to say it (and precious little leeway for deviations).

That's good. What's bad instead is that I will probably be away on holiday when you'll post it... so I'll have to wait for he end of August to read it... ;_;

Oh, I understand the feeling pretty well...

You're lucky if you find only writing the last fifth a frustrating process. I start getting frustrate right from the beginning... I really have no idea why I write so many long fics sometimes...

What makes you think this chapter will be done by the end of August? ;)

[jjblue1.insanejournal.com]

Won't it? Some posts ago you said it had the 75% done...
Still many issues to fix or are you making some huge changes?

Real life job gobbling up time; editing takes time; tinkering takes time; last 5th of story requires to hit the right meaning precisely. takes time.time.time.time...

Serious. 75% are 2500 words. I don't know how long it will still take. Could be 2 weeks, could be 2 months. :)

Oh, I trust you on that. Sadly numbers can't always help to understand the work between them. The 25% missing sometimes might be the easiest part of the fic as well as the hardest... and according to how big the 100% is... it can be a very long or a very small part...
But I'm sure you'll do a good work! ^_^
