Which is to say, I think I’m done writing for the day – probably. It’s going surprisingly easily, for some values of easily, and I have 3500 words down today. This brings my total count to 22486 words, or, you know, not quite halfway there. If I write about 14000 words each tomorrow and Wednesday . . . yeah, that’s probably not going to happen.
So that means I get to pull out the drastic, nigh-suicidal ideas, right?
Unlike today, I have all of tomorrow off. Er, probably. See, I might be getting a call about a job, and who knows how that will affect my day. Hopefully it will complicate, and not simplify, my schedule. Anyway, tomorrow my dear daughter is with her grandparents all day long*, which means that I can probably focus on doing stupid things to my writing hands. My plan is simple. Elegant. Insane.
I shall go to TVTropes.com, and I shall click on the random page button. I will read the trope. I will then write a scene of not less than 500 words using said trope. I will then close that tab, read the next trope that will have inevitably opened, and repeat. Should I ever run out of tabs, I will evaluate the health of my writing hands and the amount of writing I have done, set said evaluation aside, and click the random trope link again.
If you have not heard from me by December, send help.
*Cue maniacal laughter. No, no, wrong track, that’s the hysterical laughter you have there.
Current Music: Pandora station based on She’s So High by Tal Bachman. This station is pure magic. I’m afraid to touch it. Every song that’s come up has been a massive favorite of mine, often long-forgotten. Here, have a list:
Absolutely by Nine Days; All For You by Sister Hazel; There She Goes by Sixpence None The Richer; 100 Years by Five For Fighting; Broadway by The Goo Goo Dolls; Roll To Me by Del Amitri; Push by Matchbox Twenty; Yellow by Coldplay; and Dare You To Move by Switchfoot. Wait, and now Free Fallin’ by Tom Petty.
Yeah, so I thought I was exaggerating when I said that every single song was a favorite. Um. Yeah, no, I totally wasn’t. Daaaang.
