Friday, 4 November 2011 06:56 amI just wrote a paper detailing my one-month plans to write a paper, and I honestly don't think I'm going to follow those plans very closely at all. Such is life, I suppose.
Yesterday I spent the morning writing to catch up to the word count I missed the day before, and then writing an additional 2000 words for that day. (I actually wrote almost the exact same amount as on the first day, weirdly.) It seems to be easier for me to write when I'm doing it pen-and-paper style than when I'm writing on the computer, but then so far the only day this month I've done much writing on the computer was the day I was sick, so I could be wrong. Last year wasn't quite like that (although last year I didn't have as much free time as this year) but then I might just be getting better at writing in general.
In 4500 words, my main character gets on a train, receives a text, gets to school, meets her room-mate, goes to the dining hall, goes to bed, wakes up the next morning, takes a shower, receives (but does not actually eat) a muffin, unpacks her stuff, goes to a café, and gets a job application. In another 1100 she runs into an old friend and, later, makes plans to meet up with him at the café that she (by that time) works at. If it sounds like nothing's happened so far... that's because nothing has. I have vague plans for this story, but nothing particularly concrete; I've got a few plot-important bits written out in my notebook and a few more sort of plotted in my head, but once I get past that point (which is maybe halfway in) I don't really know where I'm going with it.
It's kind of exciting, actually.
