Notes & Observations
What a crappy night of writing. Tonight was a difficult, tedious trudge. Every word felt like a fight. I wanted to focus on trying to develop one of the villains, and while I made progress, I can’t stand so much as a single word I wrote tonight.
But at least I wrote them.
With the words written, they can be edited. And with editing, I’ll get tonight’s crap into a form that I won’t feel dirty about.
A long night, and I’m glad I didn’t push myself to do the more usual 2000. I needed a night to do a little less. On the other hand, I’m also excited that, with 28898 words written, after tomorrow I’ll be over the 30000-word mark!
Excerpt
"Pure and beautiful. She stood at the mirror in the bathroom, and ran a brush through her long, thick blonde hair. She could not help but smile, and a little vanity, a little pride, were things he did not mind. Pure and beautiful.
She was.
He said she was.
That was all she needed.
For now."
Congratulations! Seems like you’re far more steady with your words and time than I am.
=) Good luck.
