Between being really busy and really tired, this was a struggle. Saturday night, I finally started writing. Got 180 words in and realized I was writing a 500-word story that would have been lame. Got 600 words into another story and got stuck.
4 hours to go, my lamenting brain latched onto something, I had a lot of fun writing and editing. Just submitted a few minutes ago. I might send another edit in later. If the judges miss my jokes and sly references, oh well. I had fun!

Yikes.
Ok. Submitted! 1994 words, and I dare not go back. I completely started over last night, so all things considered, I am feeling ok! But thank God for beta readers this round, because I was a heated mess. Which is a regular mess, where heat has been applied, so that it is an even bigger mess. Yeah.

Just finished. 2000 words. I have discovered that I love to read horror and I HATE to write it. Good challenge for the weekend I suppose. I can't believe I even came up with something. That's a win in and of itself for me.

Submitted. Whew!
Political Satire... really? Luckily I have been addicted to politics over the last five years, so I'm well versed. But I have never written, nor have I considered writing political satire (as much as I like Cobert and Kimmel). I kept it in the current time period, although I considered the 1700s at first. It was difficult. Not sure I hit the mark but it's finished and my in-house beta readers liked it (they don't always like what I write), and offered content feedback which helped a lot. Keeping my fingers crossed. |

Congrats, groupmate! I share your sentiments exactly. I might love mysteries, but they take a level of planning that is not part of whatever writing process I typically follow (I'll kid myself into thinking I have a process. Why not?)

That moment when you finish a story with minutes to spare...
This one was harder than the last ones, and I have definitely struggled with the first few drafts (all of them now deleted). I'm happy with my final one, even if it wasn't something I normally would have written. Still. I had a fun time, and that's what counts! |
