Finished draft two of the story I wrote for my challenge. I'm going to try and get up the motivation to work on draft three, which involves much more serious editing. And by get up the motivation, I more mean stop staring at the internet and get writing. I think a scene or two is missing to connect to the end. I am slightly worried that this is a story where "things happen" rather than an actual plot, but I won't be able to tell that until I get some real critique on it.
It is definitely optimistic, linear, and full of healthy relationships, though!
I also need a better title.
I've been working on a shorter story that was originally going to be a flash fiction piece, but I'm not sure it's going to work out as a flash fiction piece. Which is fine. I need more character development to make the plot work, and I simply cannot do that in another 500 words. It'll likely still be a shorter story -- around 2,500 - 3,000 words, I'm pretty sure. I just have to figure out how said character development happens.
But basically, it boils down to the question:
What would you do if someone offered you the chance to give up everything going on it your life so that you can go on a spaceship and sail the stars? You have to go back eventually, but you can take from it what you can. A chance to fully be yourself, not confined by societal rules and what other people expect of you.
No, seriously. What would you do?
