chugging away...
Fortified with sugar and ice tea, I wrote some words.
Day 13
(7/7/12)
Project: "Blue Monsters" (working title)
Write-a-thon words today: 1,071
Words total: 5,753
Mean things: concussions, being chased through the woods (at night, in the dark--see: concussions)
Shiny: She hated the school--it was full of ghost children who’d drowned in the river, and the teacher had been burned up long ago in a house fire. Ghosts didn’t teach her anything she wanted to learn. She read her own books hidden under the only desk that wasn’t full of water or snails.
It is starting to take on a Pan's Labyrinth vibe in places. *squints* Only, you know, with more ballet motif and sad baby monsters.
