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.
