First impressions: This ain’t so hard! … and then comes
the slow realization that I have roughly 20 more days of this to look
forward to … Oh God, no.
So, I’m on my second day and I have roughly 6,449 words so far. Not too shabby, I guess. Gonna do more work tonight. It’s not often I catch onto the pulse of my story so quickly. It’s just working this time.
Whether or not I can keep up this pace though, I’m not so sure… The beginning of the story is clear in my mind. The middle is fuzzy. The end? I don’t have an ending yet. HA! This is not gonna go well.
Usually I like going into a new book with it pretty clear in my head, but with it not so set in stone that it’s boring to write. I like to think of it as if it’s a movie I watched a few years ago. I remember many of the big scenes and cool directions the story goes in, but I can’t remember all the finer details. I’m sort of in that mode with this story, but it’s fuzzier than usual, like a film I saw a some years ago while drunk or something.
Still, I’m glad I’m participating this year. It’s fun to be involved with all these others and compare our mental breakdowns as we rush towards that finishing line thingy.
