The Fifteen Minute Writing Challenge

General

I just need to write my scenes. I have 6 scenes to write and I keep procrastinating on them.

6 scenes? Wow. Good luck with them!

I have homework to do, as an interactive fiction for next week.

I better not procrastinate. The challenge of today was to write the first words, and I wrote the story of one character.

I wrote mine with code in–I just didn’t tweak the code or neatly write in all the *sets and #options because I would have not proceeded very quickly if I’d tried to be tidy. But I feel the same way as you do–personally, I can’t write ChoiceScript without adding code as I go; my brain won’t cooperate. For me, the code doesn’t feel separate to the narrative text.

I’m glad you found this fun! I did too! I hope I get the chance to participate again this month.

@FairyGodfeather Fifteen minutes is great for me, too. It’s not intimidating, and I can often find fifteen uninterrupted minutes if I try hard enough.

10 minutes and I have no idea what I’m writing today! I suppose it should be one of the NPCs I haven’t written for yet. Decisions! Decisions!

Write a scene involving a branching choice that no one’s going to choose on the first playthrough. :slight_smile:

Ha! Great idea! We, the Fairy Godmother, will do the crazy things that shouldn’t be done!

Now to decide what that crazy is!

I just continued writing my scene I was working on, so I sort of cheated.

615 Words
3165 characters (no spaces)
3761 characters (/w spaces)

So I dunno ifthis counts.
