So, the New Thing has grown a bit, and is looking more and more like it's heading in the right direction to become a proto-novel. I have no idea where it's going, but I'm enjoying that.
Miledrop (working title): 1885 words
(which makes my
novel_in_90 quota for the day, though yesterday I was distracted making a painting. Same one posted on the personal journal, so don't get too excited if you've already seen it there.)
Yes, I've written longer short stories. Heck, ALL my short stories have been longer. But it's okay, it's a solid start. I think I might get to crash a space ship soon (a small one). Definitely trying very hard not to strangle this thing with overthinking it, though.
Still not sure what to do with Arcx, which is stopped dead in its tracks at about 90k. I'm fairly certain that I *will* get back to fix it (read: rewrite nearly from scratch) but I'm not ready yet. It's been set back again in the backbrain on sloooow simmer.
Miledrop takes place closer to familiar territory than Arcx, being primarily set on the Zanzjans (the worlds from my novel currently on submission -- and here you thought I just sat at the keyboard and typed sdfslkfjlasf to get a username!). It'll have new characters! It'll have some of the old! Sh*t will blow up! What more can you ask for?
That's it for tonight, though. I'm exhausted. I'm going to take a nice long, hot shower and go to bed. Mmmmmmmm. Bed.
