30 Words 30 Days: day 1, 6/8/19

Wrote thirty+ words of Gymnos. Nude superhero wrestling is about to begin.

[theinnermeyoullneverknow]

I wrote like 240 words on my (hopefully) future novel today. Like, WROTE with you pen and paper, straight from my brain. (I also had to manually count them to come up with that number.) That's almost a whole page for me.

Would've been more except I hit a bit of a block: I can't decide whether to have my first-person narrator sort of laugh along with new friends who are laughing at something she said that she doesn't see why it's funny and in spite of sort of feeling like she's being made fun of, or if she should get offended and demand to know wtf is so funny.

Votes? (Remember tumblr doesn't like to show me replies for some reason, so I guess either drop it in my ask box or reblog with your vote. Whatever works.)

#30Words30Days 30 belong

Final prompt for the 30 Word story challenge in April! Belong. I did it! I wrote thiry 30-word stories this month. If you scroll backwards from 1-30, an over-arching story connects all 30. They embrace amid their families.  “We’re not alone. We are loved. We will survive this.  When we’re ready, we can try again.” “Until then, we can be thankful for love.”

#30Words30Days 28- clan

Day 28 prompt for the 30Words30Days story challeng is ‘clan’. I interpreted that as a large family of extended relatives. Her mother phoned. “We’re having a funeral. You both need a formal acknowledgement of this loss.  I’m calling the relatives.” Bouquets. The ultrasound picture. Speeches about lost futures. Communal grief.

#30Words30Days 26-native

Prompt #26 for the 30Words30Day story challenge is “native” I’m using the meaning of ‘innate’ and that term.Is it an innate response to avoid someone else’s pain, even when it’s the same? Does sharing double the grief or halve it?  He can’t decide, but staying feels important.
