I turned my attention back to the group story that still needs a name. Lizzie and the hat took care of a bunch of zombies, but the main focus was on Clovis and Gina.
They had to clear out a building where the virus is being loaded into vaccines. I probably need to go back through and ramp up the creepiness factor, but I like how it came out.
My favorite part was when they all got back together. The hat was absolutely manic, and laughing himself silly. I liked the part where he said, “If I had a bladder, I’d wet my pants.”
My heroes were forced to torch the building holding the virus, leaving one contaminated person inside. Since he’d never survive the virus, it was a bit easier for them.
I also revealed the big bad for the first time. This is the paranormal entity that’s behind all these shenanigans. She got away this time.
Still 1400 words isn’t too bad.
I also spent a big part of my morning monitoring that Facebook lounge post about Lisa Burton. It cut into my writing time, but all in all it was a good day. A good weekend for that matter.
Tomorrow, I have to go back to the job that actually pays me. I think I’ll call it a weekend and goof off this afternoon.
There’s nothing better than making yourself laugh:) Enjoy the rest of your time off.

You inspired me yesterday. I wasn’t going to do any writing at all, but when I read about your productive weekend, I had some description ideas for a couple of scenes in my whip. I covered the five senses and added a bit of dialogue to the last scene in Chapter one of my fantasy. I believe I wrote about 400 words yesterday. Thanks for sharing.

oOne question, is the virus the focal point of your story?

It is the plot of the forces of evil. My heroes are slowly uncovering it. I flipped a coin between plague or famine. Plague won.

Why not call it Plague of Destruction?

Maybe. I’d like to suggest the humor a bit too.

You may not figure out the title until you’re close to finishing the story. Just wait, it’ll hit you in the stomach or wake you up in the middle of the night. Ideas happen like that for me.

I love the Hat. Sounds like you had fun with your scenes. Productive days, no matter what the end word count, are always a plus. At this point, I’d do cartwheels for 1400.
