It's an ish-week · 2:47am Jan 23rd, 2014
Writer's Training Ground #4 has been an interesting experience. I managed to write 4000 words by working straight through Monday, then realized that the EQD prompt had a maximum of 5000 words for this particular thing. And I still had about 1/3 of a story to finish. There was a "screw the rules" moment I had and continued writing for no particular reason other than not to waste effort.
It's in the middle of the week. I'm only at 6k now and I'm still 2k short of what I think I'll end up with. At this rate, I may be done by Friday, long past the deadline. I'm real tempted to drop it and mess with Civ V and spawn myself an army of giant robots while everyone else is figuring out how a wheel works.
Plus I'm sick enough to be miserable but not sick enough to get out of school. It's a nice thin line I'm walking and rather not cross.
3/4 almost done with that short story. For anyone who cares, it's going to be less random and more somber than my usual stuff. I grabbed an idea and ran with it and created what somebody's going to read sometime next week.
For the record, I'm glad I'm not sending these things through a pre-reader.
