Here is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it)!

May the magic be with us all!

I'm working on a holiday story for the Man from U.N.C.L.E. Down the Chimney exchange.
Today I worked on thinking up more ideas for my story prompts.
Tomorrow I'm going to try to write the ideas out as a story summary in broad strokes, in the way one would answer the question "What's your story about?"
On Saturday I'm going to type up all the stuff I've written so far (I'm working in a notebook) and hopefully I will have a good amount of stuff to expand on!

I'm better off with the notebook at first. On the computer I wind up self-editing myself into a state of constipation. With the notebook I just keep writing, and there's no delete key:)

So far, so good!

I am in awe of anyone who can have ideas! :-)

I have the kernel of a story in mind now, so yay for that:)

The "what's your story about" part is actually quite hard, isn't it. But it's hard to start writing without having an overall theme in your head (for me at least). May the notebook yield good results :)

I agree - it's a maddening question, what should I write about?

The computer is not my friend. I'm back to writing in the notebook first:)
