BioThis is not a real journal. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
ornithopter is my real journal. This isn't a character journal either. coinflip is currently my only character journal. This is just a bunch of things I write all stuck in one place.
The time in the subject of each post is how long I spent writing it. At the beginning of that time period, I most likely had no plot, characters, or setting in mind. Obviously, masterpieces are not to be expected.
Characters, items, locations, or anything else I take a fancy to may return. Most will not. Expect no sequels, though they may occur.
The object of this is to get me to write. Thus the time limit. Without a deadline I will rewrite and ponder and procrastinate for periods of time so long that there are no words for them, and I will never produce so much as a single short story.
Deadline or flatline.
Criticisms welcome on all pieces, just bear the time spent on them in mind. Any piece with "planned" written where the time limit should be was written in the traditional method and thus should be held to a higher standard. I may never write one in here.
