May 26 08: progress
It’s a beautiful day in New York City — sun shining, weather warm but not insane, pedestrians handsome — and aside from a trip to get a sandwich at lunchtime I have spent it at home, either writing or poking about the Internet doing some research.
Today’s progress on the story with Wikipedia in it: first ~1300 words. I have a goal, I have a mechanism, I have some characters who seem willing to banter interestingly with one another. Much of what I have written may be cut, but it got me to where I am, so fine. I have reached the point where the goal must be addressed directly. Once again, I realize I have no overt conflict on the horizon. Not sure what it’s going to be, exactly, and I tire of smacking face-first into this same structural issue over and over. On the other hand, I had no bouts of oh my god run for your life today, so perhaps I should take my triumphs where I found them. Thirteen-hundred words, y’all.
Yay. I’m off to get a margarita now.
