I began the next section of "No Plot? No Problem!" that was to be read when you started writing. The book really inspires you to write, and gives a lot of great tips and ideas, but this is a little ridiculous. It talks about just going with whatever your imagination gives you. For example, the book says, if five ninjas show up from your imagination begging to be put in your courtroom drama, then by all means, put them in!
Well, the ninjas jumped out of the courtroom drama and demanded to be put into my book! How do I put 17th century japanese assassins into a sci-fi space western action-adventure extravaganza?!?
The answer was obvious: make them SPACE NINJAS!!!
Day One of writing went pretty well. Sunday was a day from hell. I was told by my old apartment through a notice on my door that I had to be out of my apartment by Monday morning. Sunday at 12:30 p.m. I was therefore surprised when apartment managers told me that I had to be out by 7 p.m. They had no knowledge of any notices left on doors, and I wasn't getting my U-Haul until 5 p.m. I had planned on moving that night, but instead my sister and I were frantically moving me out in 95 degree heat. I've been pooped all day and my family didn't leave until late Monday, so I'm a little surprised I got any writing done at all. But I have the prologue and first chapter done.
Word count: 2,720.
