I've been rewatching/finishing Orange Is The New Black the past few weeks with my mom as she recovers from back surgery, and it made me feel like I was lagging on my current projects. There's something about immersing myself in really amazing writing that makes what I do feel really inadequate. Perversely demoralizing? I don't know. (Also, how have I never done a story set in a women's prison? Come on, IB.)
Anyway, turns out I was beating myself up for no reason. In addition to a lot of brainstorming and storyboarding for my next Big Project, the monthly commission managed to spiral from the promised 4000 words to around 16,000, which is like 35 pages. Close to a quarter the length of TIOS book 1. Stop giving me prompts I love, guys. Give me something suck-ass that I can spit out in a day. :) (But not really.)
What's the prompt, you ask? A vague one, but right in the same ballpark we've been playing in. I don't think the commissionee will mind if I share it verbatim:
... an alternate universe TIOS story about what Jordan would do to Heather.
It's tricky, really, since Jordan's already had an hour a day for months on end to do whatever he wanted to Heather. But what if he really got his eye fixed on her and decided she ought to be more than just another sex ed slut?
So yeah. I have a draft nearly done, and I'll be proofing tomorrow (and maybe Tuesday), and then it'll be yours. Then the August drawing, then I'll share some of Big New Project. :D More to come!
