805 words. To be honest, it’s not helping that at the moment, I’m not quite sure how to graduate my story from the world of normality into the world of strangeness- the way I’ve got it thought out, it needs to be a gradual thing… but I think plunging into weirdness unexpectedly might be more exciting. I’m slowly learning the difference between writing down every single beat of the story and only writing down the ones that actually make a significant difference (I’m not writing highbrow literature- most of my stuff is designed to be a funky, strange adventure). Most of the stuff I’ve written over the past couple of days has been useful to a degree, but it hasn’t actually been stuff I could see lasting into the next draft. I don’t want to stop and take a break- I just need to choose which of the multitude of forks in the road in front of me I’m going to actually take.

Progress on FLIPSIDE:

Soon, I may have a blog entry that isn’t just a progress report. Stranger things have been known to happen…
