I wrote the least last night (had to catch up on my comics, both reading them and writing them), but I ended up picking a couple sentences strewn together.  I know that’s cheating…shut up.

Best Sentence(s):  I wish I could explain what it feels like to be me.  Have you ever tried walking on the sun and found that you not only could, but that it made you even stronger?  It is as if the heat and flames seep through your skin and power you up like a nuke, radiating off of you in waves of pure power.  That is what it feels like to be me.  Everyday, all the time.  Walking around like a god.  You can’t ever understand what it’s like to be me, because you can’t even imagine that, can you?

Okay.  I get through these nights of “writing” knowing that most of these “best” sentences will not make it to the final draft, and also in realizing that it has definitely gotten my brain sparking in a new way.  Plotting ideas/concepts (my worst writing enemy) have definitely been firing off more frequently in my brain the last few days, so while the sentences remain crappy, at least the ideas are starting to flow.  There is hope!

Oy.  This is starting to look like a mistake.  I know the point is to write as much as possible and to understand that it won’t necessarily be my best work, but it is really depressing to see my “best” sentences daily.  Here we go, yet again, another non-great sentence…

Best Sentence:  People call me callus, but I have always considered myself simply a realist.

yucky

I’m kind of cheating already, because I’m already writing in a non-linear way (my kryptonite) and I swore to write the story straight this month.  I’ll try to get back on track today, but here are yesterday’s stats…

Best Sentence:  It was as if all my ancestors and all their Lola counterparts were standing on opposite sides of my brain preparing to wage a war.

Ho-hum…still not so great.  I’m going to really have to focus tonight I guess.

So yesterday was my first day of trying to WriMo, as mentioned previously, I’m not necessarily aiming for 50,000 words, but I am aiming for a fully completed (horrible) draft of my book Lola LeFever, which is part two in a trilogy (yes, part one has been completed).  So I aim to write everyday, and give you my loyal readers both my word count for the day and my best sentence written that day.  I hope that having to deliver those things to a audience and real imposed deadline (this blog) that I will stay on task.  We’ll see (frankly, it’s hard already).  But here we go…

Best Sentence: The instant I heard the impact of steel hitting dirt at hundreds of miles per hour I felt a fire inside me, a power that enveloped me and loved me like nothing had ever bothered to before.

Yuck!  This sentence sucks!  I can’t believe this is the best sentence…oy.  I’ll have to do much better tomorrow.  Here’s to tomorrow’s sentence being better than that…
