It only took me over a year, but I figured out what “teal deer” means.

Stupid slang. XD

I'm glad to see you mention the story. I miss it a lot and I'll be waiting for the day where I see another update :D.
I wish you the best thought. I do write and am not a good writer as many but when I have a writing block, I tend to get stuck for the longest time. And when I go back and read, I don't even know where I am anymore.

It's good to see you are back on track. It looks like you have a lot of work to do - but I think the result is worth all the waiting ^^.

Hopefully you can find some free time to make your project going.
Good luck :).

I can't really comment on the creative process, as I'm as inexperienced as you are (if not more so), but I do have a suggestion for reviewing Mai-HiME:

veoh.com.

you may have to join to be able to see them all, but one particular user (yipeskop1) has uploaded all of the episodes, and that's how I've been going back through them. the nice thing about veoh is that you can watch any of the videos fullscreen without it just looking like a mishmash of pixels. here is yipeskop1's list of videos, if you're interested.

I suppose I didn't flesh out my comment about the "other papers;" the essays and papers I've written in other subjects can, the way I see, only come out a certain way given the facts I use and argument I present. So reading old "nonfiction" work like that doesn't feel very weird to me. An example would be a physiology lab report: There's really not much room for "craftiness" in present a point of view there.

On the other hand, a creative fic edit could involve complete changes in dialogue or narration or both. Interesting process, anyway!

And yes, it turns out I'm still satisfied with my blood-sweat-and-tears-wrought talky bits, which is a good sign, I think. ^_^
