Home is behind, the world ahead, |
You wasted six words on spam.
That just makes it more impressive that you can spend time on 6 and still get the prize.
I still came up Rosie :~D
I'm gonna shoot for between 2 and 3k per day for the first week while I have energy, then 2k after that. I think I can be at 2k before lunch is over if I can just stop being distracted by "having to come up with whatever item it is she's stealing" or "what's the plan here anyway" details. I am beginning to wonder if winging it was such a great plan.
Feel free to ask us for hints. I am sure we can wip out stuff like, "She is there to steal the Toaster of Doom by having her friend Guido distract the guards with a herd of wild llamas."
How about an ancient manuscript that might have amazing secrets written on it?
That comes later, this is just a character-establishment chapter.
I was vague. I'm good at vague. I'll fix it if I rewrite.
Then maybe the "item" is vauge. No one knows what it is, except that it is valuable.
It's not important. What's the word for a not important item? They take the item to the guy who's buying it and he offers them the new job that will involve piranhas.
So it was just a test?
That doesn't count the Extrema Ratio knives, EMT snips, GMRS radios, Quikclot, or Israeli bandages we've sent out from time to time.
Heh, if I use my real first name, I get Rita Buscaglione. If I use, as a first name, the one I generally go by, then it generates Allesia Berlusconi, even though I used my married name both times.
Yeah, now the evil mastermind will want them to acquire the map to the Nazi treasure. But my heroes are smarter than that so they'll turn him down. That's when he kidnaps the heroine's sister... see, I have a plot, it just isn't detailed.
By that I mean he did it and the heroine does not know it yet. He tells her after she turns him down.
In my calculator case I just found a 6 year old note with a plot outline for a story I never wrote. The funny thing is it is more detailed than my nanowrimo one.
Is it any good? The outline I mean. The stories I wrote that long ago were horribly written but some of the plots were ok.
No, the sister has to come visit the heroine before she gets kidnapped. It's to give Comic Relief. Sister does not know heroine is a catburglar.
Hehehe... that would make a good name to use in my book somewhere.
