Complete my submission for Project #32

My boyfriend called this afternoon wanting to know if we could spend some time, or whether he should do some more study. I stuttered out that I had some writing to do but offered that if I got it done today we could spend some time tomorrow.

He agreed, so I put my nose to the grindstone and churned out the last scene I had to write, typed it all up and sent it off.

I just hope I didn’t make any typos.

Of course, it’s the biggest one, but the story itself is only short, so no dramas. I already knocked over one scene today (plus some unrelated editing) and the day is not yet half over. I think I’ll have a go at finishing that last scene.

After all, it’s already Monday and I have to have this submitted by the end of Wednesday.

I’m a member of an online writing group. We’re a closed community with members from around the world. The group always has a couple of themed challenges running, the idea being to provoke new work from members.

One of the current challenges (Project #32) fits in well with my Creative Writing Honours thesis, as they are both on mental illness. The deadline is April 30th.

So far I have the beginning and most of the end written. I just have to fill in the middle. It’s not a long story so I’m reasonably confident I’ll get it done. However a busy weekend means that this is going to come down to the wire.

It feels good to be writing, though.
