Day 2: Short Story Marathon

Summary

Busy day with work and life, so writing was slower as expected. Started with a line that came to me when I was going to sleep last night (“I was six the first time I wished I was an android.”) and got about two-thirds of the way through the story. I had been working on an android story last month that wasn’t quite working (to similar to another story I wrote), but the subconscious was clearly chewing on the idea.

Only had a few minutes for the Woody and June story, but have a plot element bugging me in the climax that needs to make more sense.

Stats for Today

Strategies Employed: Opening line ready to go.

Lessons Learned: The subconscious keeps working on stories when I am not.

Words Written: 2,700

Hours: 2.1
