Metatext. (2092)
So, after my whining yesterday, I finally shut up and managed to write a few words. Sadly, I’ve yet to break 5000, much less 10000 or 15000 as most participants have by now. I’m using a trial version of Ulysses software, which has a nifty full screen feature that blocks out everything on your desktop. It works pretty well, unless you forget to take your IM client offline. I was interrupted yesterday by an IM and from there, other interruptions popped up. But I’m glad I got more writing in.
I feel like my story is starting to go somewhere and my characters are shaping up. I’m working on incorporating the internal monologue sections I wrote the first week into the actual plot, so technically I have more than 2092 words written but I won’t count those until they become part of the story.
Whether or not I reach 50K words, I do feel that I have something that could be workshopped into a decent short story, and that makes me feel good!
