Just taking a little afternoon break with a nice cup of coffee. While I wait for that to sweep away some of the afternoon fog, I thought I'd shift focus for a few minutes and throw out a small update on my progress. For those that haven't seen it yet, feel free to check my previous blog post for a more general update on my
Wow, life is one hell of a rollercoaster. I've been on all sorts of ups and downs the past year and it feels kinda like I'd need a story unto itself just explain everything. The short of it is that I've finally taken the plunge, jumped far off into the deep end and gone back to school, moved into a new place, went through at least two bouts of depression, quit my tabletop group and lost touch
Okay, I'm still not one to make huge posts going over every detail of how much my life sucks, and how it's constantly getting in the way of me being a productive writer, but I still want to let anyone who still cares know what's up.
1025813 Yeah, gotta admit the lack of direction of this one is not that helpful. It's honestly kinda kicking my ass right now. I think I figured out something I can try with it, but I'm afraid it's either gonna be really short or too long depending on how I make it work. It's a tad irritating. I'm disinclined to make it too short as it kinda feels like a cop-out if I can't even hit 1k words, which has been my unstated baseline for these challenges.
I've had no setbacks this time other than trouble figuring out what to write, so this might be a case of just failing the challenge. Although, given some of the ideas I'm playing with right now, I'm very tempted to turn this into a full story. If I do, I'll probably need a bit more time to plan it though...
1030327 Sorry. I had basically just typed the first thing that came to mind and hit add comment. I actually thought there was a good chance it would simply be disqualified for not having enough to go on, but I couldn't think of anything to add to it.
1030357 Eh, realistically, I should have just had you add something to it or picked a different one.
Regardless, I figured out a really fun way to do something with it. Still going to need some more planning as I need to figure out a proper climax and ending for it, but I'd really like to make a full story with it.
To be honest. I wasn't even sure that was enough to actually get anything out of.
