White lights made his eyes hurt, and the smell of disinfectant almost made him gag. John foggily replied to the question, "I remember the little green man popped up in the crosswalk sign. Then nothing much after that." The nurse turned on the TV, where baby animals scampered across the screen. "You mean to tell me tha...

2016 would be remembered by those that lived as the year of the Dog Flu. The Dog Flu had come from nowhere, but ended up being the biggest pandemic ever seen.

Like most apocalypses (apocalypsii?), it started with greed. We need to make more money. 10% growth in earnings; and once we do that for 6 quarters in a row, 11%.

I just started... Plot is solid though. I'll put things in writing beginning tomorrow.

[MODPOST] The 50k subscriber contest novella check in thread, how is your story going?
It's hard to believe it has only been a week and a half. I'm about 11000 words in and realizing quickly I may not have anything of acceptable length once I'm done (expecting to land around 20k now). If that's the case, I will have to either heavily edit and rewrite some portions or I will have to move to an entirely di...

I wrote one chapter, I wanted there to be three total. However, I realize that three chapters is going to be too little, I wanted more and I have to rethink my strategy for how I want to write the story. Also I'm becoming increasingly busy at work, and worry that the amount of time I'll have to write will decrease as...

It's going *okay*. I really like my idea but I haven't had too much time to sit down and write a lot for it...I suppose I'll be doing that this weekend. It's very poetic and literary, I'm not sure if it will turn out to be an entertaining read or not. We'll see, I suppose. Good luck, everyone!

Slowly. Like, VERY slowly. Busy with midterms, etc. But I'm not too worried as this is how I usually write. I like fermenting the idea (and I think I have a pretty good one) in my head for a long, LONG time and kinda of it congeal into the piece I want to write (like, I think of, write, and remember actual paragraphs o...

I only just saw the post, and came up with my synopsis, as well as a basic plot arc, with the significant events. Displaced Empire, which I've only just posted the synopsis for is very much sounding like something that would fit an anime more than anything else.

I have a prompt, I have a plan, I just need the time. Oh time, why do you elude me so?

Slightly over 5K words into "The Delicate Wasteland of the Brain" and I had my first crisis of faith a couple nights ago. It's a big idea with a big plot twist, but it is also a tiny personal tale at its core. I'm afraid the sex and violence will scare off anyone who might look for deeper meaning and the general world-...

I am at about 7000 words on Half Light Heaven. An interesting story with characters I am enjoying is emerging. I imagine I will end up at about 10,000 words. I wish I had more time to let it settle before editing.

Slowly, but that's par for the course with most of my pieces. I don't write as fast as I'd like to (which is why it appears I'm so far behind on the daily writing challenge--I've been doing writing nearly every day, but only posting those items I've gotten to the end of). That said, I'm optimistic about how *The Drea...

I oopsed. I made it to long, so now it's a full length novel. Sorry guys. My bad. I hope you like fighting, strong willed heroine, wicked pirates, bandits, vendetta, and clever endings. Oh, and violins. You're going to have to like violins.

Real life has intercepted me with magnificent "IT'S TIME TO RE-EVALUATE YOUR LIFE" hammer. Shit's come up, don't think I can seriously pursue this right now. Pretty disappointed but what you gonna do?

I started writing out an idea, felt it was stupid. Got sidetracked by another project. Now desperately wracking my brain for ideas as the clock ticks down. I like my side project better too even though it's not contest worthy. FML.

I feel like I have a good idea, but I'm sort of spinning my wheels getting it started. I've rewritten the opening three times, gotten about 1k in, decided I don't like the tone, and scrapped it. Hopefully I can get it settled in my brain before the deadline.

5500 - The Song of the World - Just submitted the beginning. ... as for the story ... I have the world ideated and constructed. The main characters introduced. The tools, exhibited. A history has been imagined, then referred to in passing. I can see the end, but I cannot quite hear it speaking. ... must get closer ...

Amulet of the Sentinel is at 3k words and going slowly. Haven't had much time to write since school started.
