Jan. 9th, 2013 06:37 pmProject: M/M/M age of sail story
Market: Storm Moon Press - More the Merrier anthology call
Deadline: July 31st, but I'm hoping to have the first draft done by the end of January at the latest.
Required length:10-20K
Previous wordcount: 0
New words written today: 1260
Present total wordcount: 1260
Mean things: Wright sneaking up on the boys was a bit mean.
Fun things: Kissing! Lounging boys!
Stimulants: 'plenty of fluids' as I fight off the last bit of this flu. Mainly water and one cup of coffee (plus chocolate digestive biscuits). Oh, and some paracetamol, because I have a bit of a headache.
I stole this from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
julian_griffith, because it's cool.
I finally got started on this. During the worst of my sickness, I did manage to plot out vaguely how the story will go in a rambly way. And I blocked out the love scenes last night in my head, pretty much. Today, I started writing.
It'll need a lot of editing because I'm still very fuzzy from the sickness. And also I'm so used to writing in a modern voice because of my novel. It's convinced me I do need to put that aside while I work on this one, because switching from modern to historical voice is HARD. So I'll leave Jack and Bertie where they are - enjoying the early days of being together, before the shit hits the fan. They would have revolted if I'd left them before they got together, whereas now they're in the honeymoon period and quite happy to put off all those serious questions and all the stress that will come with being found out for a little while longer.
But yes. I got words in the file, and I'm very happy with that.
