if i could leave my burning skin
I finished my challenge. The pacing is all wrong. There are parts that need to go and parts that need to be padded. The ending needs more impact. But it's done. I wrote an entire story that broke away from my normal writing cliches. It is optimistic. It's completely linear. It centers around a healthy relationship(s).
Snippets will go in my writing journal (![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
holymachines). This story needs a more serious rewriting than anything I've ever written, but I guess that's what I get for writing it in 7 days. It's currently 3,800 words and I'd like to keep it around there.
My goal right now is to get the first rewrite done in another week. Obviously I don't expect to fix the story that quickly, but I feel like I should be able to do a decent amount considering all the spare time I have. As long as I don't keep dicking around on the internet, I should be able to beat that goal pretty easily.
I need to put a new challenge together! The last one was created by putting together three things I've never really written about. I don't write optimistic stories, I tend to write non-linear, and healthy relationships aren't my cup of tea.
If you're familiar with my writing, go ahead and suggest something(s) I should add to my next challenge. Or if you're not, challenge me with things that are generally difficult. I'll look at them and figure out what I should be doing next.
I really have no excuse not to try and swap between writing a story a week and rewriting for a week.
