Short story 6 of 7, a horror-y love story is the one I'm considering it, to switch back and forth between the assassin and the monster in the wall. I put the decision off until I get to the character details for it next week. #FirstDraftFall
Nur halb durchs Outlining dieser KG (eine von sieben) für #FirstDraftFall. Diese Szenenidee ist also nicht nur nicht auf Rechtschreibung korrigiert, nicht einmal die Perspektive ist konsistent! Aber ich glaube, die könnte am Ende gut funktionieren/der Doktor wird ein "gutes" Arschloch.
Aber sowas von. Done, thx.
Last #FirstDraftFall writing day of the week. May get the character building done for the first of my seven short stories. (The one about a laundromat visit without anything supernatural as a horror story)
*rolls dice and gives answer for short story one of seven I do for #FirstDraftFall * Flasche, protagonist of the "visit to the laundromat as a horror story without any supernatural elements" is extremely unhappy. His new doc won't give him anxiety meds until he 'really tried' without them.
Today I'm starting the character deep dive. Atm they're only sentences "x is an a who..." inside the high abstraction level structure description. They need to become people. (This will also change the plots so far, because they might have narrative demands, needy little fucks) #FirstDraftFall
*rolling the dice* Short story 2 of 7, Proband: 32 year old Felix lives in an apartment with his mother, but she doesn't mind, "he's my perfect little rascal!" But the neighbors just aren't sophisticated enough to appreciate his cool and fun pranks! The cat even survived! #FirstDraftFall
Second day of cleaning up notes so far. Maybe I'll get to start with the deep dive into the characters that comes next
Thread der immer klugen und tollen Lena. (Hilft alles nicht mit der halbironischen Versuchung, meine fertigen Texte einfach als Bluesky-Thread in die Welt zu schicken, statt mich ernsthaft mit dem Veröffentlichen zu beschäftigen. /lh)
Always a bit later because time zones: Today/tomorrow are days to clean up my notes so far so I don't get distracted by messiness later this week when focusing on characters. To trick my "inner editor" into not distracting me at the wrong time is part of many steps of my process. #FirstDraftFall
