Progress? Hah!

[bloodyrosemccoy]

One sentence from your works in progress? Man, I wonder if the abandoned ones count. Nothing like a fic meme to get you feeling guilty about what you haven’t been doing lately.

Anyway:

-The first time Alice’s entire family was murdered, the citizens of Henderson, Nevada mounted a full-scale search effort for her.

-But while the shining jewelry was catching, Largo was always riveted by her eyes—a strange, citric orange, with slitted pupils, eyes that suggested something not altogether human.

- Something had to be done to get inside the mind of the entity, just as it was now getting inside the brain—a strangely shaped brain, like an animal’s, but with extra layers of complexity.

- I considered pointing out that wanting to be driven insane wasn’t exactly all that sane to begin with, but he went on.

- She didn’t respond much to my prods, except to answer my questions or to calmly volunteer “That’s really painful.”

-“When this whole thing plays out, I’m gonna shrink your head and keep it around just to remember what fun you were!”

Now I’d better get back to one of those. Now that most of the mucus has cleared out of my skull, maybe I’ll be able to make sense again.

I want to read all of the first one Really Badly.

I'm not real sure what to make of that one. It's either a short, complete piece, or it's a prologue. Whatever it is, everything I've written on it is here.

...it's really fascinating, whatever it is. Though I am fascinated by the idea of this Alice, I almost like it better just as it is. Makes it creepier.

seconded.

If they were all available I have to say I'd find each story interesting enough to read a whole book based on having it in it, but they strangely don't seem 'lacking' even as they are - they kind of draw you into the context they build around themselves.

I wouldn't say that you're going to be a writer someday because I'd say you've been one for a while. I understand procrastinating about writing all too well, but on a strictly appreciation level, moremoremore!!! ^_^

First one is extra Win. Last one also is, in part because it made me giggle and think "That sounds like something one of my characters would say!"

I have gone into full-core gamer geek mode since becoming ill for some reason. EVERYTHING is reminding me of That Character I Played In That One Game Setting, It Was So Cool!

I really need to get around to actively writing with my brain boys and girls again. Hrm.

*grin* Glad you like 'em! And yeah, I do that most of the time, too--"That's like one of those people inside my head, wanna hear about it?"

Did you see the link in a previous comment to Alice's full (or something) story? If not, here.

This should be a poll, so the LJ hivemind can decide which one you work on next. :D


In fact, maybe I should do that with my own stuff, since I've been working on nothing fictiony for the last two months or so. :/

It's the fourth one that really grabs me. But then again, going mad has been a life goal of mine for some time now.

Sentence from my WIP:

"Tell me, have you ever met a horse that looked like it might be familiar with the concept of lubrication?"

Ah, Desmond, how I love him... XD

... Oh, dear.
