So I made the mistake of starting two different stories over this weekend. One was a story without a voice, and the other was a voice without a story. I was equally compelled to write them at the same time, and that brought problems. So what did I decide to do at the last minute? I decided to start a third entirely different story. One with ninjas. And zombies. And pirates. And cyborgs. And the obligatory dead pet ala Clarionites '08. This is in complete contrast to my Week 1 prose-poetry story, which was deemed "literary" and not exactly genre. We'll see how my class reacts to my more conventional genre story (but all Asians all the time!). In the end, I probably wrote over 8000 words this weekend and this week, but the final pure first draft sub is around 2400.
I am so looking forward for Jim Kelly, the amazing story doctor, to help me with my stories and my world building!
Clarion Tip: If you can, sub early! I'm going to try my best to finish my Week 3 story over this weekend. Yay postcolonial lit!
