We’re through one-third of April, and I’ve got another 19 stories to write for this challenge before returning to the novels-in-progress.\u00c2\u00a0 And what have I learned?<\/p>\n
1 – I don’t always know what I’m going to write when I sit down.\u00c2\u00a0 This does not necessarily mean I won’t like what comes out.<\/p>\n
2 – It also doesn’t mean I’ll like it.\u00c2\u00a0 I definitely have a couple of stories I would’ve just jettisoned, on any other day.\u00c2\u00a0 But that’s not part of this project\/challenge\/thing.<\/p>\n
3 – Even when I know what I’m going to do doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll like it.<\/p>\n
4 – My two favorites, thus far, are a combination: one was planned, one was not.<\/p>\n
I’ve also learned that, on a project like this, I crave feedback<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 Tell me what I’m doing right, what I’m doing wrong, if you’d like to see a character again, if you think you’ve seen this character before.\u00c2\u00a0 (Hint: at least two people I’ve written about this month have appeared in other stories I’ve written; at least one of those stories has been published.)<\/p>\n I have two friends also taking this challenge, though not in so public a way.\u00c2\u00a0 One has missed a day, and plans to make it up.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s fine, though it wouldn’t work for me.\u00c2\u00a0 (Note: my challenge is to complete a story every day; this means I may start some early and finish them later, but it also does mean that I have to have something by midnight.)<\/p>\n I’ve also started playing Scrabble on Facebook, and seem to be roundly defeating one friend and neck-and-neck with another.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s only two games.\u00c2\u00a0 If you and I are friends on Facebook, go ahead and challenge me.\u00c2\u00a0 During the work week, I may not get to it too frequently, but I’ll be playing at least once a day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’re through one-third of April, and I’ve got another 19 stories to write for this challenge before returning to the novels-in-progress.\u00c2\u00a0 And what have I […]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=608"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
