What a cool start! I would totally read this! Loving the moon elves and moonhare!
The 2018 (First Ever!) Sequel Solstice: A Midsummer Night's Game!
- Thread starter J. A. Rama
- Start date
And the surprise twist...everyone's been digitized and are avatars for an MMO survival game. Gawd, what a horribly cliche' way to end.

Nope, something different must be done, but what... ... ...

I have a vague setting and the bare beginnings of a plot for one prompt that I think I might actually pull off. (Note for those looking for hints for the guessing thread;: it's not at all like the opening I posted before.)
Wow, I have no time whatsoever. I'm playing a show for Memorial Day and all my focus has been on that! I'll start writing after the 28th.
To those who have started, hats off. You guys are good procrastinatorn'ts. (lol it works for yesn't. I don't think it works for procrastinators. xD )

Heaps of time yet. 
Just over 2 months before you have to submit.
I started my story, but then it got shunted aside so I could finish my Camp project. My plan is to start up again with my SS:AMNG story 1 June.

Not bad at all, a start you're happy with is better that 10K you have to revise or throw away. Slightly under 2k right now, taking it nice and easy and also getting distracted by new and non-related ideas (argh!). See where today gets me.
You did 1780 in one day? That's more than respectable in my book! I struggle to get 500 in a day. (I miss the days when I could write 3,000 without cracking a sweat)
I've been super busy. Luckily, starting my new job next week should give me lots of free time. [/sarcasm!?]
Hope you can sneak in enough spare time to write something, Alby. Good luck with the new job too!
Still pondering here. I have a submission due to ArmadilloCon’s writers’ workshop due June 15, so I’m guessing I won’t start actually writing until then, but ideas are percolating.
Thanks for the good lucks! I'm off to see my accountant today. I can barely contain my excitement!
You be careful there! Don't hurt yourself with the exciting life you lead! *g*
AnnieColleen - percolating is good. That means your subconscious is working it all out while you're busy with other stuff, so when you get to sit down and write - it'll just spill out of you, right? At least that's the theory anyhow. *g*
There, I'm all finished...
with the opening scene
Don't judge. I can at least see this SIAMANG plot forming on the horizon.

Ugh, 4k in and I might just start over with another prompt.
Congrats to Albedo on the new job (and Blinkk, if I didn't say before!)

Tomorrow's the Day. I figure June 1's as good as any date to start (also, if I don't start before I start working, I'll procrastinate for another month).
Over 5k right now, but...so ugh. Rewrites will help, but only so much. Tryin' to just view it as a good workout, and not pin my self-worth on the end result.
Anyone ever felt that way before? Weird question on a forum like this.

Wow, 5K is awesome, Kev! You're getting the words down and that is excellent! You can always fix them later.
I have, on occasion, felt that I suck as a writer, but never felt that I suck as a person. I try to remember that everyone brings different experiences to the writing, and you can only write the way you write. I usually have to remind myself of that when I start thinking my stories are too simple and no one will want to read them. Doesn't matter that usually there's only two people reading. I'd love to write something deep and complex, but I'm just not that sort of person. *shrugs* It is what it is and I'm learning to be happy with the sort of stories I write.
I do, sometimes, feel like I must be doing something wrong when everyone else is struggling so hard with their story and all I'm really struggling with is not being a lazy git. The stories kind of write themselves.
I am planning on starting my story proper on Monday. I need to finish up this damn short story so I'll have one less thing nagging at me to write on IT instead of my SS:AMNG story. *gives The Crystal Throne the side-eye* Your time will come, story, just be patient.
