3/21 - 3/23

On Friday, we went to the lecture series in the auditorium.

On Wednesday, I wrote three (3) paragraphs. Grammar is hard. What even is sentence structure.

3/6 - 3/19 goodbye spring break :((((

Lesson of the day: If I try to tell myself to only write a happy scene when I'm happy, it's never going to get written.
Lesson of the day, part 2: Purple prose and regular prose do not mix well, but I'm going to mix them anyway. #innovation for better or worse
Man, I wish I learned these lessons in September.

2/28 - 3/2

We should have more presentations because I've never been productive like in the 2 weeks leading up to the midyear presentation. I got more written in one night than I did in two months; it was an enlightening experience. I can't wait to write everything in a month, again. Woooooo.

2/20

it's presentation prep time!!!!! :):):)
I made my slide, filtered my background images, and added captions to show what I learned so far and what I expect to learn.

2/13-2/15

The wild thing about writing on different days is that my writing style is a chameleon; it changes. Chapter one is written in purple prose, but it quickly morphs into regular prose. I definitely planned to write in purple, but it's hard to maintain the style in dialogue so I ended up switching between the two styles.

On Thursday I watched HSM. It was wild, too.

2/7 - 2/9

Today's the day I absolutely gave up on Everything and wrote with zero regard for planning anything. I wrote my epitaph poem for the beginning, though I'll probably have to revise it later to make it tighter. I also edited chapter one.

2/1 - 2/5

In which I finally realize a major flaw in my first chapter and fail to find sufficient motivation - it doesn't open with clear conflict.

Which means, I'll get to have the Great Fun of starting somewhere else in the narrative where a problem is a little more obvious, even if it's not the major story arc. I think I need one more major catastrophe, too...
