Re: I Wrote Today!
This is not in the Practice hall, but I wrote today, Sorta, kind of... The Promises story has Angeni and company in this burger cafe, and I went and created a recipe booklet list of the foods in the cafe. Then I started to write out the recipes for things like "smoke rings," "dragon eggs," and "double Red Dragon fire burgers!" It isn't in the story, but I may have created a new fast-food chain. Somewhere around 2,000 words!

Re: I Wrote Today!
I am feeling my way through a confrontation scene and am not sure where it is going. Today I added 319 words to my "Transit Promises" story before going to bed.
-------
Perry pulled aside his suit jacket, revealing his sidearm. “You are coming with me.”
“Oh, my! Is that how you ask a girl out? By showing her how big your gun is?” Cithera touched the security icon on her panel while shaking her head sadly.

Re: I Wrote Today!
I added 120 words to Transit Promises before going to bed today. Cithera pulled a bluff, projecting a holographic image of an old 12 pounder cannon which was "hidden" behind some curtains. She didn't say the obvious. Instead, she told Perry to "scat" before she fired her gun.

Re: I Wrote Today!
I blew my "write 300 words every day" goal yesterday.
Maybe I will hit a spurt of free time to catch up and make it an "average of 300 words per day" before the week is out.
I added another 157 words to Transit Promises today. The first meeting between Angeni and Foster is coming up.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Life happens. And forcing words can only go so far. I think you have amazing determination to squeeze writing time into your busy life.
You're doing the best you can with what you have. And that's great.

Re: I Wrote Today!
I had to work until 10:00 pm today, and so I had a choice to make. I could push it, stay up till after midnight and get 300-400 words in or I could go to bed and get a full eight hours of sleep.
My choice was to add 30 words to my story where Foster and the Indian delegation arrive just as Angeni and company are getting ready to leave. (keeping my promise to myself and getting a decent night of sleep.)

I was wrong. Before they go back to their spaceship Angeni and company are racing to Austria. I managed another 102 words on my TP story before bedtime.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Today was better than yesterday. I added 220 words to the story before going to bed. The PLS thinks they are so clever Angeni is sorry to disappoint their expectations. Cithera is discovering that life with Captain Tasunke is full of shocks and surprises.

Glad you got more writing in. And I bet Cithera is not yet done with receiving surprises.

Re: I Wrote Today!
So last night I didn't get home until close to 10:00 pm. I figured I could get more of the hotel scene done before going to bed. Then I saw Tryings latest observations on my November 2016 post. I didn't understand some of the comments, but the comment on Deedra was "spot on." She is a support character I created for use much later in the story, and I had placed this tiny tidbit in to get her name in play earlier.
I expanded that "intro line" and made a part of my infodump into her thoughts. When I finished the scene, I had added 105 words to "First Transit."
First Transit word count thus far: 102,530
The addition took almost all the time I had for writing, but I did sneak in 12 words on "Transit Promises" before going to bed.

Re: I Wrote Today!

Re: I Wrote Today!
I added 329 words to the Transit Promises story before bedtime. Vivian is on her way to rescue George.
-------
“Yes, Ma’am. I won’t tell you to be careful, but you might be wise to avoid any bright lights.”
“You’re sweet Titus,” Vivian grinned. “I’ll be as modest as the situation warrants when I get there.” She twirled away, giving Titus a brief peek at what was hidden by her dress as she left the room.

Re: I Wrote Today!
I added 188 words to the Transit Promises story before it was time for me to head off to bed. Vivian is dressed to kill and is coming up to Georges quarters. She plans to distract and provoke a reaction from the governments "rent-a-cops." If she can get one of them to touch her, then it is all over but the shouting.
