This is MJ, author, artist, and analyzer. I'm bringing you my March 7, 2024 10-minute writing session.
It's in Grow Bug Tail Chapter 15. This is my 10th session writing in this, so I've spent, I guess, about 100 minutes writing this so far.
And this is what I have just in this little section from today.
A great tentacled dinosaur lumbered on merrily, not at all bothered by a mossy monkey that skittered up and down its long neck and came to rest atop its head.
What's this, Wave Rex? the green and brown monkey hollered as she stood on the Critterbot dinosaur's head.
You remember Cinder, Wave Rex shook his head at the gag his companion made.
Not him! the spry Critterbot rolled off of Wave Rex's head and held herself in place with her woody tail curved around the great reptile's sturdy neck.
Don't know. Must be the intruder, Timbertail. Let's give him a friendly welcome, Wave Rex ambled on merrily.
And that's the end of that. So I used merrily twice here. That's not good. I don't like that. I'm going to have to rewrite this.
But of course I was planning on editing it anyway. But I do like the vibe I'm getting here.
I'm trying as hard as I can to very organically and naturally, conversationally introduce the characters' names and describe what they look like.
And I think I'm doing a decent job here. I just need to keep going forward.
I think I'm going to switch over to Hopper and Cinderstripe's perspective for the next little bit of the story.
And then they'll all be talking to each other and interacting with each other. So hopefully that goes well.
I hope you enjoyed that. Subscribe to keep up with me. Like and share to help me reach more people like you.
