Sometimes being very tired brings out the most wonderful, crazy writing. Other times it is pure gibberish. Today I got another 800+ in my fan fiction and I’m going to write a six word story right now! Ready?
The car shuddered and I cried.

Day 18: A 50 word tale
Source: golberz.com via Sharon on Pinterest
As I waited for sister at an appointment and struggled to stay awake I wrote a quick 50 word tale about a sweet treat. Hopefully I won’t have nightmares tonight!
Tomorrow’s Plan
Get in a really good writing spell (goal 3K). That should get me through a prompted story and maybe some progress on Regency series too! That is if I can stop fiddling around with blog I’m revamping and getting set to restart. Blogging on here almost every day has really motivated me to keep a regular blog again!

Day 17: Got distracted but finished my short!
Yes I’d like to blame my sporadic writing today on Sherlock. Not on the quick errand that took nearly five hours, not the two hour lounge beneath the apple tree, and not the time wasting of rebuilding a forgotten blog. Nope it is the fault of a extremely addictive show that after watching two episodes on I scoured the internet looking for the perfect quote and picture that I merged into one on PicMonkey. So thanks for that.
I finished a short and when I made my family listen to it the response was typical “You’re not going to let anyone read that are you?” and “She get’s it from you mom.” I didn’t think it was that terrible- kind of funny really. What do you think?
“I’ve never been in love. Doubt you can change that.”
His voice was raspy. Being strangled will do that to your vocal cords.

Day 16: Back!
I missed a few days… I think two but trying to find an index card with story from 5/13/12. So school is now over for the semester. Monday was my last final and now I can take a bit of a breather. Instead of finishing my series I finally succumbed to a plot bunny that I’ve written snippets about for years. It’s an anime fan fiction- something I’ve never really tried before.
Got in 1100 for FF short. Could keep going with it- I probably will. I can’t believe it’s already 16 days into the month!
Tomorrow’s Plan
Start Regency series again. Should have it finished in 4-5 days.

Day 12: 1 hour to go
Just got settled into hotel and have an hour to write something when all I really want to do is crash. It’s been a long, long day.

Okay better get started since just dozed off on my NOOK!!

Day 11: Prompt Story!
Finally I wrote a story based on story a day prompt. I had one of the work days where everything that could go wrong did. I just wanted to crawl into bed and go to sleep but had too much to do! Suffice to say my mood has been a bit morose and I really didn’t feel like writing about my quirky love struck Regency characters so I went quick sci-fi. And it made me smile.
Here are the first three sentences~
It is easy for the cleanup crew. The bodies were ash, not bloodied bits of human parts strewn across the ship. All they really needed was a vacuum.
Tomorrow’s Plan
Have a long drive so I might just stick with another flash fiction. That is after I do flash cards for my final A&P test on Monday.

Day 10: StoryADay in May streak!
Yep, ten days of writing. In a row. Complete!!!
Say yay with me
I’m almost done with today’s story… yes it is ANOTHER continuation. I really want to start some other stories but can’t seem to stop writing this ridiculous regency.
After Gwen pushed her would be suitor in the water she met up with some locals while her as of yet unnamed suitor dumps out his weed filled, watery Hessians. They just met back up and somehow they’ll make it back to her house without any more mishaps. But I have a feeling Gwen won’t get off easy for ruining his favorite pair of boots!
Tomorrow’s Plan
My A&P practical! Baby pigs and slides. If I survive I’ll try to get a big chunk of this story done and catch up on some other participant’s stories.
What about you?
Have a favorite story you’ve written so far? Or one you hate?

Day 9: Might just make my goal today!
I’m only 300 words into my story/chapter/whatever today but it is WAY past time I go to sleep. So I’m going to give myself another 10 minutes tops to wrap it up and then snooze away.
Here’s a short slideshow from Sunday’s Walk for Hunger!

Day 8: maybe romance isn’t my forte
Have you ever read a traditional regency? Not the steamy historicals that take place in the Regency era but the oftentimes shorter, sweeter, and are more focused on the humorous or vagaries of the time. I’ve tried off and on to write in one of my favorite genres but either the heroine is too perfect (I like flawed so much better-easier for me to relate to you know) or the story is boring or I find myself laughing at every scene.
And that is where I’m at right now. Giggle fest. I also tend to start a regency with the hero and heroine with some sort of background and this time they truly meet for the first time in #1 of the interconnected stories. Now I have the hero ready to make a move in #6 and wonder if it’s too soon.
I’m just going to keep writing and let him have his way. His nobility after all and he doesn’t like to be gainsayed. I’ll just keep all my giggling to myself!
Tomorrow’s Plan
Continue with a Gwen’s backwards wooing and she steals her sort of suitors carriage. After all now that she shoved him into the pond, she better go get him some towels.

Day 7: 500 flash but still Regency Seaside
I wanted to start a new theme today but really feel like continuing on my Regency seaside resort one from last week. So if I contain myself my regency chapterlettes (is that what they are called?) will wear themselves out by Thursday at the latest. Then I hope to follow the prompts until next week.
Speaking of getting worn out I’m still sore and stiff from yesterday’s walk but I didn’t get ONE blister so I’m very happy about that.
Here’s one of my little finger puppets who came along for the walk. He’s very lazy and only came out of my bag once. Naturally, it was at snack time! Please excuse the time stamp and bad quality. My sister generously let me take her point and shoot- too bad I didn’t know how to use it!
Totoro at the Walk for Hunger
Tomorrow’s Plan
A carriage ride that may or may not end in one person’s dunking or public humiliation at the very least!
