It's sprintin' time, besties! I might even have something to work on today!

I'm thinking it's gonna be my WIP "Walking on Eggshells", a story that's so far about a woman named Miryam who's fixing to break free of a cult after something-something-crime-something.

(details, details... lol)

Keep on keeping on, rockstars. I'm still getting used to using social media as part of the writing journey, so I'm still hanging out on the learning curve.

Plan. Print some things out so I can handwrite notes. Actually set aside the time to write instead of hope it manifests... If I set aside, like, 20 minutes to sprint (even by myself), I'll end up actually focusing enough to get some ideas moving.

For how poorly planned my projects are, I'm honestly feeling pretty jazzed. I've been in a bit of a creative rut while I've been trying to query on my first project, but all the November hype has been revitalizing. <3

Hi, I'm R and new to #weeknightWriters, and for this #FirstDraftFall I'm working on entirely too many things: I have a little environmental mystery called "Paper Nautilus" and another kernel of an idea called "Walking on Eggshells".

It's... slow going. Heh.

My work in progress situation is out of hand, but at least Trackbear can keep me marginally honest. And remind me where things are and where they're going.

Who among us hasn't awoken thinking we're already dead?

Text snippet: He heard the gasping breaths, but they failed to quell his burning need and he flailed desperately for air. His hands came in contact with something and he felt the steely cooler pressed around his arms and caving in close around his body. He clawed at the sensation, fighting to free himself from this prison and wanting to scream "I'm alive in here", but the coldness warmed to brush a soft textile against his skin, and he realized this feeling might be familiar.

Scaling the fence, getting stuck, ripping his last good pair of jeans... if only he had looked to the open gate, just a little to the right.

Text snippet: She was already pulling the tape off the cooler. "Looks like you followed these instructions, at least. I should be able to do a decent analysis on these bad boys." Jay rolled into a half-kneeled position, then waited, testing his body to make sure it would cooperate. He stood up slowly, then shook his head, trying to clear it. "Glad that worked. At least." "Oh absolutely, Mr. McCormick," she murmured, clearly absorbed, before snapping her head up. "Right! Um, well done." She patted his arm. "Glad I got something right." He gave her a weak, embarrassed smile. "Don't be too hard on yourself," she said, guiding him by the elbow toward the gate. "To your credit, I did say we'd have to sneak. I suppose I should have been clearer just how much sneaking would be involved." "Th—thank you, uh, ma'am," he said, blushing. He should have figured, but it was nice for her to say, anyway.

First post (so you know I'm not a bot!):

I've been pretty amped the past couple days with writing sprints. I've been in a bit of a rut, but it's been just the thing I've needed to get started again.
