Or maybe we're all so nice because we let that douche-energy out in fiction. As opposed to road rage or something.
Ha! Maybe I'm just in post-story darkness over what I did to my poor characters. (And this is AW, of course we're awesome people! No group of Internet peeps I'd rather roll with).
I got to The End and...started over. Same story, different voice, actual motivations this time (maybe). Haven’t even re-read the first draft, but it’s all in my head. I think.
1500 words in and I just realized I've written the premise of a video game.
5k words in, and this doggone thing is only just getting started. I planned a short story, but apparently it wants to be a longer piece.
Oh well. All I can do is keep pushing forward and hope I manage to finish in time. Write or Die has helped me push through a couple tough spots, so that's something.
I just how soon it is, and I haz excited! So many stories to read, and they can't all be about the king's prison.
