“You scratch
my back, I'll scratch yours.”
Edward
Scissorhands*
Today I worked
on my book. Working with my third chapter. Chapter lengths vary based
on book, but my current word count is 9499. Once chapter 3 is
finished I'll run it by friends and family and possibly the creative
writing club to see how it's rolling out as a sort of control group.
Ch1 and Ch2 are pretty well edited(Well edited as far as my eye can
edit them on my own, its rough to edit your own work...I've gone over
them several times over.) You really need other people to catch all
your mistakes. Though stepping away for a day helps(which is why my
flash fictions can have editing goofs, I don't get the chance to step
away from them for a day). Speaking of which...today I decided to
write the opposite of a story, a hollow shell, the evil twin of a
story, the shadowy form a story...the anti-story.
Anyway onto the
flash fiction!
The
Anti-Story
A hero appears!
A heroine
appears!
The heroine is
removed from the story with no explanation!
She appears
with no explanation!
Fifteen new
one-dimensional characters appear and become friends with the
protagonists!
Stuff happens!
A villain
appears!
Nothing
happens!
Even more
nothing happens!
Yup, even more
nothing!
A wee bit more
nothing!
Hero and
villain become and antagonistic: For no reason!
Hero and
villain get in battle where neither can win!
Everyone gets
amnesia from space alien plot device!
THE END:
Nothing is resolved!
