Here comes the push.

It's currently 3AM. I'd like to make a fairly concentrated effort to finish my project for crimsonata sometime around 7AM. So this is me, making a journal entry that I'll update with my progress every hour, on the hour, so as to not get totally off-track like I'm prone to do.

( Edit the First - When we last left our heroes... )

( Edit the Second - Some progress, slow and painful though it may be... )

( Edit the Third - Ever wonder if a novel would be easier? )

( Edit the Fourth - What is this 'writing' of which you speak? )

( Edit the Fifth - Hey! I can write! What a novel concept! )

Fiction post - Unhealthy Attraction

This is probably the hardest piece of writing I've ever turned out. I had the idea for this story half a year or so ago, but found it too intimidating. It involves a character I'm very familiar with, which is a daunting thing in and of itself - I'm afraid that I'm trying to impart too much about this character to the reader. It's written in first person, which may or may not help in that respect.

Crit Notes: The most important thing I'm looking for in a crit is for this story is: does the story make sense? Is there anything the characters say or allude to that has you going, "Huh?" If so, please tell me, and if you can, tell me why. Comments about the writing itself are also appreciated, as always. Think it could be handled differently for better effect? Let me know!

Phew. This one's definitely a weight off my shoulders. Now to work on eternalism's challenge. It'd be nice to finish it tonight so I can have a clear Birthday weekend (woohoo!)
