- Fact: coffee tastes better at midnight, which I verified at the midnight kick-off write in I attended.
- My brain responds very oddly when I ask it, “what’s a good reason for the MC to leave his house right now?”
- My writing is still pretty bad haha.
- I’m a terrible speller.
Favorite Line I Wrote Today:
“I had assumed that no longer sweating meant that I didn’t have to do laundry ever again, but the fact of the matter was that some ladies still didn’t appreciate my charm, and red wine stains refuse to take themselves out of most fabrics.”
Best Typos/Fake Words of the Day:
- Demin
- comiseraters
Opening Lines:
I politely waited for a moment for the swell of applause to die down, at least enough to talk over. In that moment, I really let it all sink in; where I was, what I had accomplished, and the price I paid to get there. The bright lights, the million eyes on me, and the rolling cameras were amazing, despite the heavy weight on the sliver of soul I had left. Somewhere in those million eyes, there were two that were filled with the tears from a broken heart.
I briefly asked myself, was it worth it? Everything, to be right here, right now?
Absolutely.
