Words are my enemy. I try to use them simply and eloquently, but let one in and a hundred of its comrades stampede the gates.
(Translation: I am already 2/3 of the way through my word limit for this assignment. Unfortunately I am still not quite into the main body of the story yet. Unless it turns out to be radically shorter than anticipated, this may pose a problem.)
On the plus side, this does make editing easier. I no longer recoil in horror, thinking of it as murdering my children. Instead, I think of it as slaughtering the little buggers with maximum prejudice, and serve them right too.
On the plus plus side, I think this could be a good story. If I can just get it to behave.
(Still awaiting my hat and badge...)
