Yesterday: Received short story assignment for class with no real constraints other than it must be something I’m passionate about and it must have voice. ***DESPAIR***
This morning during yoga: Has idea. ***HOPE***
Sitting down to write: No idea how to write the story or where to set it. ***RANDOM ASS RESEARCH THAT GOES IN ALL THE WRONG DIRECTIONS***
Turning on music: AHA!!! ***WRITES***
Strangely, my thighs weren’t hurting much this morning. I went on a medium-length walk this morning, too. I wanted to go further but WOW was it hot this morning, so I had to cut the walk a bit short. Particularly because a big section of the walk didn’t have any shade.
–I’ve had to pull out the second part of the story several times so far for not being immediate enough. I have no idea what the plot is, but I’ve set conditions for success (genre, tone, a smidge of a frame story or two). We’ll see.
