I’d swear these drafts are getting harder and harder to write. Given the “quality” of my earlier writing, that might not be a bad thing. Maybe. But today I finally finished the first draft of an untitled short (working title, “Chris Cross, Applesauce”). I knew as of three scenes ago that it needs some major rewriting, namely because I realized what was missing in the tension of the story and now need to work it back into the beginning. But the first draft is done, and that feels fabulous. I hope your Sunday morning is as fruitful (though less chilly – 33 degrees Fahrenheit is enough to make me chilly just looking at it through the window). If the rest of the day cooperates, I think I’ll tackle some related fiction and maybe do some of that reading thing. Or playing video games, watching movies with the kids, and avoiding structured cognitive constructs. Hope your having a good weekend, now enjoy it!
