Reflections on Week Twelve

[Read the completed story here!]

I tried something very different with this one—instead of brainstorming internally and then summarizing the results of said brainstorm(s) here, I thought it might be more in the spirit of Unwritten Word transparency if I actually transcribed my internal process and posted it here (there was this one and that one and finally the other).

As you can see, I tend to ask myself questions and then either answer them or ask more questions around my questions. I don't know how interesting it is for you to read, but for me anyway it's a lot more productive than worrying over the one question in silence. Moving pen on paper or committing pixelated words to Giant Glowbox God (i.e., computer screen) somehow keeps my thought process chugging forward.

As for the story itself, I really don't know what it is. Do you? It's kind of funny, kind of meaningful in a larger sense. Look, folks: They can't all be pearls. The goal here is momentum. Perfect is the enemy of the good, right?

Next up: Week Thirteen!
