Last sprint of the day. Working through my questions about the man in the glen plaid suit.
Day Four, Part Two – 1137 words, 20 minutes
Sprint two, about the office, done.
I’m not sure if I need 20 minutes on item 3; and I’m not sure if I’m enough into the store for four and five.
May do ten minutes on the police station and save the other two for later on in the weekend.
Right now I’m over my daily word count without even touching the narrative part–and I definitely want to spend an hour at least on that.
Day 4 – part one, 1010 words, 20 minutes
Did a sprint about what the protagonist’s apartment looks like. Hit over a thousand words in twenty minutes. Didn’t worry about tone, or voice, or anything, just talked it through in writing.
Helped a lot. There’s definitely usable stuff there for the main body of the story. I’m going to try to do one or two more 20 minute sprints today and then write for an hour on the main story line. That should boost my word count as well.
next possible sprint topics:
– description of office
– description of police station
– description of Umut’s in Radio Row
– character study of the man in the glen plaid suit.
Day Three, 5280
Yeah I know, I should be at 10% after three days.
Still feels kinda cool though, to see ten percent done, woo-hoo!
notes: usually things start going faster around 1100 words.
today was an hour; yesterday was two hours; monday was an hour and a half.
I’m really trying to focus right now on not editing, striking out changes rather than editing them, and letting things, well, suck.
edited to say: just edited my 2007 posts to also be tagged with the day number (day 1, day 2, etc.)
