Love Me to the Bone
Draft 1
Words Added: 1,563
What Happened in the Story: Madeline checks out her new apartment, which is very (VERY) yellow. But it’s quiet and clean, so really, it’s fine. She tries to place a call to make some supply requests, and manages to rip the side of the hideous tweed dress her mother buried her in. Irene’s sick of her guests, so she offers to take her to get a new one she actually likes.
Additional Notes: Low energy day today–I can feel the weariness building in my bones. But that’s okay! I did my little Friday ritual of getting a latte and an almond croissant, which is a nice motivator to get going and get writing. Got a little sidetracked at first by writing up a description for something I’m planning to offer through the website (keep your eyes open!), but eventually got down to it and hammered out a decent scene. We’re clipping right along through ACT 1, so hopefully I’ll finish it up next week, work through some of Madeline’s emotional speed bumps, and then move on to even more fun stuff, like exploring the skeleton city of Requiem!
Took me a little while to get the words typed up from my notebook (because, YES, inexplicably I’m still writing by hand), which is why this is a little bit of a late update. But it’s done now!
Also, fun random fact about me: I take my shoes off to write. I don’t know why. I just prefer to write without shoes.
Thanks for following along, and I hope you enjoy the ride! I’ll try and make these daily updates (on writing days), but I’ll probably miss a few now and then. Sorry about that in advance, but I’ll do my best to be consistent. If you’re craving some personal stakes in this process, feel free to toss me a “You Can Do It!” donation at my Ko-fi shop! I’m going to need a lot of coffee for this…
