Can you believe it is MAY already??!! Me either.
Check out the WordCount page for updates on, well, word counts.
I have signed up for the Forward Motion Story-A-Day Challenge. I have done one today, so I am at least semi-active in something! What it is, you go to one of the ‘plot generators’ and write a story on the plot you are given. Cool? Well, yeah, but not as easy as it sounds! For example, mine today was:
My main character/protagonist is a female. My main character is a hair stylist. An archetype present in my story is King Arthur. A key object or symbol in my story is a escalator. My story will be set in Madrid. My story is about fairness. An event or situation in my story is adultery.
Now, YOU try to do something with that! I won’t tell you what I did. Well, maybe if you ask nice.
What else have I done, writing wise? Does the fact that I about 20K behind on the Dare give a clue? Or that I did a grand total of 133 words today give another?? I just have had other things to do, other things I would rather do. I sit down and stare at the screen, nothing coming to mind. I think it’s about to end though. It better!
In Real Life, Lorna has gone up Nawth to spend a long weekend with her folks. Years ago the high school vocal teacher retired. They (the former students and others) gathered and had a surprise concert for her. Apparently a lot of those Pennsylvania Dutch folks had taken her class! They all had so much fun, they now hold two concerts a year, with her as the director. Lorna’s Dad and Sister sing in the group so she went up there to hear it. They now make recordings of each concert then sell/give away the tapes. The surprising thing is, these folks really are good!
