I need to write something now or I might fall silent for a long time. There are a handful of messes in my head which need sorting out.
It has been a week since I updated on writing progress, mostly because there has not been much progress. Maybe I should make it a weekly thing.
Over the past week I wrote 19 words of Discourteous Joe. Technically that is a finishing of Day 15 and commencement of Day 16 so I suppose it counts as progress.
For my Sekrit Projekt there has been a total of 768 words. This is good but more are due soon. I would say I have not attempted such a project as this before but it is not true. Discourteous Joe was intended to be nearly precisely the same sort of thing but I could not maintain the pace. Perhaps I have learned since then. Adjustments to style, presentation, schedule and I might maybe be able to manage it this time.
There are times, like today, when I am not sure why I persist with it or where I am going. Other times I have this idea that it might be something, someday, that is not awful, so I do. And, ha, sometimes I worry it will overlap in content with another project of mine but the universe is large and has room for many stories. Some are best told with the particular structures and social customs open to my Sekrit Projekt although... actually I could mirror it with another. There might be some nice parallels to be drawn there but unfortunately it is unlikely they would be done at the same time.
I apologise for being cryptic above. It is not my habit to name stories unless necessary and two of the three stories/projects referenced above do not actually have names. This happens with people too; I think of them usually in terms of my mental model of who they are and often have difficulty finding a (correct) name to attach. I do not as of the time of writing and for recently (my memory does not hold an answer more than a few days ago) feel as if I have a name, although there are a number of acceptable labels I could be called by. And the 'best' way to describe it might be to say "it is the thing which is this thing".
Enough digression. Yesterday I transcribed the remaining 1652 words of Spare Parts. Satisfying to have something finished, even if it is only a first draft. Now it remains to untangle the ending and determine which of the three sequences of events I wrote actually happened.
All that typing gave a little boost to my averages. Now I just need to supplement it with actual creativity.
Discourteous Joe:
Sekrit Projekt:
Spare Parts:
Month:
Graphs help. Looking at this, I have a little more hope that I can do what I set out to do. Although the one for Spare Parts should say 'Finished'. Unfortunately there was no code to copy.
[Music note: When I started typing it was 'Open Your Heart - Reprise' from the same album, but that was too much. This suits better. Except my mood has almost swung the other way again. Whee for joy!]
