For this week's
Thursday_Prompt. Still haven't trouble writing anything. I struggled a lot getting this out. I'm really not super pleased with the final result, but so it goes.
Anyways, the original plan involved a big long chase scene where Kaj is chased all the way through campus defeating his attackers along the way. He would finally end up laying on the grass all bloody and battered having dispatched them all, only to be discovered by a drunken Rhelki and Ochil, having just left a club. I was then undecided if they'd get further revenge on him or just laugh and comment that this was too easy and just leave him to wallow in pain. In any case, I just wasn't feeling it and cut the whole encounter short.

The difference is that most people find clowns creepy nowadays, whereas plush gnomes have become inexplicably popular for some reason.
Anyways, I did still enjoy it. A long chase scene might have been overdoing it for a not-really-canon gnome encounter. I’m sorry to hear about your writing struggles but sometimes just getting something out there can help get the words/creativity flowing again, even if you aren’t fully satisfied with this story.

I don't understand how people can enjoy those gnomes. They're so creepy.
My biggest issue was just coming up with enough action beats to sustain the chase. I think at this point the non-canon stuff has just ended up growing into its own silly canon, so I don't think it would have been overdoing it per say. Plus, I kind of just wanted to work on other things. I do have another story I pulled myself away from this one to work on, that seems to be flowing much better.

I thought I was going to get to say that Kaj finally gets a taste of his own medicine though I don't think he's ever intentionally killed anyone as a result of his pranks! Hopefully after that evening with Felix coming to the rescue the gnomes know to stay away now... I'd keep my head on a swivel, just to be safe though.
Perhaps the two of you should find a new route for your walkies... Of course you would think of the only thing more terrifying than gnomes to close this one out with. The things that come out of an artic kitsune's imagination, they scares me at times, Roidh.

Yeah, I wouldn't say Kaj really has done anything to truly deserve being killed. Those gnomes don't mess around though. He should probably be worried they might come back for round 2.
And it isn't our fault that accursed things keep appearing on our route. I fear that even if we do change it, they'll end up finding us.

It's just been hard to get the words down sometimes. I'm finding writing more dialog heavy sections a lot easier, but for more action and plot driven sections I end up just looking at the page blankly wondering how the best way to tell the next part. Anyways, glad you enjoyed it.
:o I agree that gnomes are creepy. But I found this pic now https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comme.....is_impressive/ and it made me laugh, lol.
And it turned out very good! He had a confrontation with them nonetheless, even if without that long chase. If you aren't in a mood for that much action there is no reason to write an action story in my opinion and what you wrote is definitely enough. It also portrayed really nicely your relationship with Kaj with you as a pet and I thought it was pretty cute.
I like that non-canon canon by the way. It's very fun and wacky.
