Writing again

Daily Goal: 500 words.
Yesterday I wrote 200 words.
Sundays/Stories finished: 3/0.

I didn't really write 200 words yesterday. I wrote them today and I did it in longhand. I don't feel like counting them up, but I think 200 is a good guess.

Here is a little sample picture of my writing. I Don't know how it'll look like published. I, still, write all this from my Galaxy Tab, using an application called Bloggerdroid, and it is all text. There is no easy way to see how the image will be formatted in the published post.



What I wrote earlier today is more of the synopsis for a short story. I can't really call it a synopsis any longer, because it is getting detailed. I got the idea from YouTube video (I'll post it if I ever come across it again). The idea is to write increasingly more detailed synopses (is that correct in plural?). Once you end up with an account that is perhaps a quarter of the length you intend the story to be, then you start on the real thing.

In theory, I should never get stuck in the real work of writing the story, because I know everything that happends. I won't suddenly find myself stuck. Often enough you think up a storyline where two characters drive to a destination and when you start writing that scene you realize you don't know what they talk about, even though you had envisioned that it took up a significant part of the story.

So you get stuck and you don't write anymore and you leave the story for a day or two and suddenly it's gone. Hopefully this new exercise will get rid of that. It is offcourse a little bit of extra work, but I have to say it looks like it could work and I have enjoyed writing it. The synopsis isn't finished yet, but not a lot is missing and soon I hope to start writing the real story.
