Club 100: Fourteen Days!
Aug. 11th, 2008 11:19 am*does the happy dance*
Fourteen days straight of writing 100 words a day = 1736 words. Yay me!
Now I've hit a point where my confidence is starting to return. I've hit a point where I'll be *damned* if I miss a day from my "streak" out of pure laziness/low confidence. I write, even if I'm not forming a readable sentence or thought. I write.
I may write 14 different openings for the story. I may toss out the words I wrote yesterday and rewrite them today. But I write.
I posted the opening on 14 Lines the other day and have received really helpful comments. I posted the opening, not sure if it's the opening I'll stay with. Usually I only offer completed works for crits, so this was a big experiment to post a rough WIP. I'm pleased with the comments. Still not sure it's the right opening, but once I get the story finished, (and I *will* this time) I have faith I'll know then.
One more thing to remark on: I've struggled so with the SF story (which leaves me feeling like I'm trying to write longhand in a dark room). Usually I would have given up and trunked it. Maybe the end result will be trunked eventually. But before that, it *will* be finished, and it will be submitted somewhere. "As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again." .... oh, sorry, got caught up in the dramatic moment there. :-D
