It is done

starzkiYesterday was my last day at my temp job. I was told I'd be missed and to come back to work there if things don't turn out. I was on a really good team with fun people.
I'm actually going to miss it. The only thing I'm looking forward to from not working there is not having to wake up to the alarm every morning. Yes, it will also be nice doing the work I want, that I was trained for, but I had a good job and made good money. Working for free is not so fun.
Hopefully, working for free will pay off in a job sooner than later.
Anyway. I also finally typed up the next chapter in my IY/Sandman fic. I'm going to submit it into the mirsan_fics community so I can post it there later tonight (after it gets a couple of proof-reads). It's surprisingly different than the hand-written version that I wrote these last three weeks in the 15 minutes I had here and there at work before I was allowed to clock in in the mornings and after lunch. I fixed the perspective (major whoops there) and made it more exciting. I also added a Fiddler's Green cameo at the last minute. I love him and figured that Sango and Miroku would need a little hint in navigating Dream's realm.
I am seriously loving this story. And I'm referencing way more than just IY and Sandman, but other movies and books that made an impact on me. But the thing is, that's really the point of the land of dreaming. The idea is that dreams are our basis for creating stories. Therefore, I could totally find any fantasy place I've read or seen in a movie in Dream's realm because that's where those authors got them from. See, it's not stealing, it's just that I'm completely buying into the universe that Gaiman created.
That the places and people within dreaming are familiar through storytelling is the point of this story. I hope that in the next (and final) chapter, I'm able to really convey this. I'll be so disappointed if that point doesn't come through clearly.
I don't know if I'm writing it well, but I know that the idea for this story is good and I'm really having a fun time exploring it. Which is the important thing, I guess.
