Today was a good start. The story was not terribly good or engaging, and I spent most of the time telling instead of showing, but it was a good few hours of heavily caffeinated writing. Unlike most years, I did not have any problem with turning off my internal editor and just writing crap. After I hit around 4,000 words, I went back and reworked a few parts to pad words and change the direction slightly. I wish I had left the end with a hook to start tomorrow. I guess I’ll worry about that tomorrow.
As last year, I decided to keep the writing hidden. It's more for your protection than mine. It is terribly written with no story or words that are worth reading. Perhaps in time, when this is over, I'll go back and create a second draft that is worth reading. Until then, you'll have to accept these brief musings as my progress.
