FKFicFest is on

[pj1228]

fkficfest is currently in the writing phase.

We've elected 5 prompts as a common pool. Each story must use at least 1 of:
- found among the second-hand books
- I'm going to tell you something that you don't want to hear.
- keeping secrets
- The antique hairbrush still held tangles of fine golden hair.
- a lucky break, a chance meeting, and a friend in need

If you want to play, check out the Gameplay Post.

How is everyone doing?

I picked a prompt and have a vague idea of where it might be going.

Unfortunately, I find myself in the dilemma of too much going on at the moment. A mix of family birthdays, soccer games and culture events keeps me busy on weekends, which leaves only weeknights for writing. Since all this is happening in my home town and not in the town where I live, I'm currently heading back and fourth each week. However, I've discovered that taking the train instead of the car is a wonderful way to create a time window for writing. Thanks to the reliability of Deutsche Bahn, one can be certain that the trip takes longer than originally scheduled. Like last Monday, we stopped in the middle of nowhere for one hour because there were people on the tracks ahead. Great opportunity to start my story. I managed to write almost 500 words.

Sänk juh for träwweling wis Deutsche Bahn! Always a pleasure, but yeah, you almost always get a lot more traveling time than what you paid for. ;) I hope the next trips will go a lot smoother.

So far, I have an idea and one scene of a potential fic, about 750 words. I hope that inspiration will come back, otherwise it will end up as a snippet and I really would like to expand it. We'll see.

Good luck, and may the muse be with you! :)

Thank you!

Indeed LOL.

Yesterday's ride went well, yet it was long enough to get another 500 words written.

I hope your inspiration recovers and I'm looking forward to reading the result.
